I think not. But where do the deaths of the returned wounded get counted and how many have there been?

2. Any one injured but not dead at the scene
and later dies on the way to medical help or later at home in the US are counted in the "wounded and removed from theater" count.

3. I think it is scandalous that the total number of military deaths from the
Iraq war is being hidden from the people. And we can only thank this administrtion and their media whores for this.

4. I also read an article which said if the US solder is an alien
they are also not counted in the death toll. A good percentage of our troops are illegal aliens trying to earn citizenship, or aliens recruited from other countries.

5. Time to get the MSM to start asking these questions by calling into Rush
and asking them ourselves.
