How many "wounded soldiers" have died from their injuries?
And are they even counted as part of the dead. I have heard that many of these injured are very serious. Vietnam like wounds. Some must die in the hospital.

I was wondering if they were even counted. They should be.

4. Jesus, that is horrible
This war is so sickening. To think it is being fought for George W. Bush's ego.

14. So very sorry to hear that.
May I ask what branch of service and what, if anything, they are doing to help him?

15. they did adjust the death toll in the Chinook shoot down
based on injured later dying.

Other than that, I do not recall a single report of a wounded soldier dying later being added to the reported total.
