15. it's alot more than that
if you include the number that die on the way to treatment. those are battlefield deaths. the more real number is closer to 9000

18. No, those include the ones that die in hospitals, not battlefield-only
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 09:29 PM by NickB79
Read here: http://icasualties.org/oif/Details.aspx

Note that the very first casualty listed died in Bethesda Naval Hosp., MD.

The idea that the military could hide more than a few dozen troop deaths isn't all that believable. Imagine all the friends, family, fellow soldiers who would have to never again ask about their missing companion. Consider how many people would miss you if you just disappeared one day. 10? 20? 30? Now multiply that by a few thousand, and not one of them makes a stink about a single missing soldier? Not one of them reads on the icasualties website and wonders why their friend's name isn't on the list and starts asking questions?

17. Thank you..

for cutting through all the MJ crap.

This is real. This is happening. And we need to be reminded of what the government is doing in our name.

On edit: Recommended for Greatest page. This should be there.

21. How many since
May 1st the day that the downing street minutes came out ? So we keep track of how many the MSM are guilty of, Before the 1st they could say they where listening to the White House. After the 1st the cowards in the media are directly responsible for those deaths.
