US Iraq casualty above 6,000...

[MeDeMax]

True or a concoction of this website ? Wondering if anyone knows better.

U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005.

thnx for evaluating the info.

4. Casualty numbers include wounded...

DOD number of deaths (1600+) is accurate, but I believe the wounded numbers are being fudged quit a bit. I've heard numbers between 6,000 and 30,000. Heck, David Hackworth was telling us between 14,000 and 22,000 military men and women have been medically evacuated from Iraq (and that was back in December, 2003!!!).

5. If you go to ICCC you can see the list of all the US troops who died in

hospitals outside of Iraq. So yes actually they do count them.

Troops who die from wounds sustained in Iraq are counted, regardless where they die.

7. YES, their numbers of DEAD TROOPS are accurate.

And please don't thank me for 'evaluating the info'!

LynnTheDem responded downstring; THAT is the DUer who is 'Evaluating Info' like you wouldn't believe!

When I first heard this rumor, I gave it "the benefit"...G*D knows, this unholy Cabal LIES about everything else, right?

Ask LynnTD about this stuff. Lynn is SERIOUSLY "on top" of this issue, and has a nose up the World's ass that UPDATES every 15 minutes on this subject!

The only numbers the B*sh Cabal is really hiding are the troops who have been MAIMED for life. Thirty THOUSAND Medivac'd out-of-theater, but ZERO stats available on the non-fatal wounded!

Modern 'Body Armor' means a MUCH higher percentage of our modern troops are SURVIVING injuries that were 90% FATAL to our VietNam Vets...

That means assloads of gullible, "gung-ho" 19yo kids will be "Surviving" to live into their 80s without arms, legs, eyes...or big chunks of their brain tissue.

MEANWHILE, the B*SH Cabal cuts funding for VA healthcare...while giving BILLION$ back to the Ultra-Wealthy.

6. TBR News is an anti-semitic site. n/t

8. Concoction

They simply made it up. How many times must this be debunked. All deaths are counted, combats and accidents, Iraq and Germany.

If you count the permanently disabled among the casualties, though, I think it's something like 15,000. But there's no reliable statistic on that.

9. Why is it...

...that bullshit from TBR gets aired on DU? Those guys make Newsmax look like a bunch of cuddly puppies.

[geek tragedy]

10. TBR also says that no Jews were killed in gas chambers. They're liars. nt

"The Barnes Review" in its various forms is a hate site of the extreme right, and unacceptable as a source for discussion in this forum.
