21. Over 164 wounded were flown to Germany by Thurs

The link goes to an article from yesterday now, citing 178 total wounded but on Thursday it read (from my own LBN post at the time)...

FALLUJAH, Iraq -- U.S. forces backed by an air and artillery barrage launched a major attack Thursday into the southern half of Fallujah, trying to choke Sunni fighters in a shrinking cordon. The military estimated 600 insurgents have been killed in the offensive but said success in the city won't break Iraq's insurgency.

The Fallujah campaign has also sent a stream of American wounded to the military's main hospital in Europe. Planes carrying just over 100 bloodied and broken troops were arriving Thursday at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, a day after 64 others were brought in.

And that wouldn't have counted the injuries that didn't leave Iraq.
