1. all of these deaths resulted from a "hostile action"

that crap is inexcusable :banghead:

All of our military stationed in Iraq is a result of a "hostile action" - led by this maladministration's errant policies of unending war.

I am sick and tired of such delineations - they are meaningless.

Dead is Dead.
