2. Does he count?

I thought that they weren't including soldiers who died in the U.S. after being injured in Iraq in their stats? (The real number being 4000+).

5. was he or any of the others that r wounded and die outside of Iraq counted?

I breaks my heart to hear of another death and grieving family.. i am so sorry, then i get pissed..!!

I get a feeling that they dont count the wounded that die after being taken out of Iraq, it is the sort of thing i expect of them anymore
