U.S. Marine killed in Falluja
http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=483852§ion=news

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - One U.S. Marine has been killed and several wounded during fighting in the Iraqi town of Falluja, west of Baghdad, a U.S. military spokesman says.

<snip>

Another U.S. Marine was killed and two wounded on Thursday in an attack on their convoy east of Falluja.

The death on Friday brought to 400 the number of U.S. troops killed in action since the start of the U.S.-led war in Iraq just over a year ago.

...more...

That would actually bring the toll to 590 (but we keep disappearing the dead).

I know there is a link regarding the fight in Falluja, but I felt that it would minimize the loss to merely update the thread.

R.I.P.

:cry:

2. This is really starting to piss me off, when the media and the Pentagon
use strictly those killed in action, instead of the total number that have died in Iraq. Obviously they're trying to minimize the number of deaths and in essence mislead the public. Let's call a spade and spade and report the total number of deaths as a result of this botched invasion of Iraq.....fucking liars.

7. Disgusting
During the Civil War a Union General ordered soldiers buried on the grounds of Robert E. Lee's Arlington estate. Later this became Arlington National Cemetary. Perhaps the Crawford Ranch could become Crawford National Cemetary. Arlington is running out of space.

"Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger."

This quote has been running through my head for the last few weeks.
