1. actually, i read that its closer to 1200. They are splitting infinities

here with what constitutes 'war dead'. If you were
shot between the eyes, you are war dead. If you died
later, were hurt in combat but didn't eat lead, etc
you aren't 'war dead'. Your dead is a different dead
and they are withholding counting it. The story was
on here I believe some place. I will try and find it.

3. And yet oddly

I have 552 names on my poster of dead -- and I haven't updated in a few days, either. I really do wish they would tell me who has been resurrected.
