3. Now here is the larger question how many died after leaving the theater of ops to die in FRG or USA

4. Forget the Numbers

It's not till you see them that it strikes home. In San Antonio I always see a bunch of our wounded warriors who left their appendages in Iraq. I saw a Marine who escorted his dead friend home on the plane. Yeah on the plane. When they off-loaded the casket, he was down on the ramp, in uniform, standing at attention as belt-loaded rolled his friend down.

That was one sad ass sight.

6. You are completely wrong -- those who die outside Iraq are included in the total

the claim that the casualty counts, including KIA, do not include service personnel who are injured in Iraq but die in a military hospital outside iraq has been debunked so many times here that anyone repeating it is either willfully ignorant or willfully attempting to mislead.
