6. And real amount of wounded is a lot higher
Just like those who die outside of Iraq aren't counted either. So every wounded soldier is flown to Germany and if he happened to die there...




The Bush Butcher’s Bill: 30 US Military Deaths in Iraq from 1 through 13 February 2005 – Official Total of 1,532 US Dead to date (and rising)

U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals are not counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005.

by Brian Harring, Domestic Intelligence Reporter

Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially. The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in excess of 7,000. Given the officially acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded, this elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 1,400+ now being officially published. When our research is complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along with the sources. Ed

3. "Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties."
That's what Bush told Pat Robertson before we invaded.

10. wow. it seems like we just hit the 1000 mark not too long ago
and now we're getting closer to 2000. :cry:

On a selfish positive note...my brother is back won't be deployed again. A huge weight has been lifted for my family. My heart goes out to the families that haven't been as lucky as we have. I don't like the idea that 1602 mothers will get one less phone call or one less Mother's Day card this year.
