1. What's really sad about this is that so many people were talking

about the death toll of American soldiers hitting 2000. That was just last week!!!! Now it's already 2035!

Am I missing something, or are there more now than in the past?

[Demaholic]

2. October

Had the highest numbers of American deaths since January, you aren't missing a thing.

[stop the bleeding]

3. No your not missing anything - just might be a little numb from the

constant barrage of news - I am getting desensitized myself.

9. Welcome to DU, AnonymityRules. I'm thinking that 1 casualty or death is

one too many, considering that Iraq is based on a pack of lies and Bushit.

[leftchick]

10. so that means what exactly?

are you defending this illegal invasion and occupation based on lies?
Fill me in please.

[Mr_Spock]

11. Welcome to DU - you are caught - good night!

Ya see, war crimes are punishable by death. You're beloved President is guilty of war crimes. Did you know killing just one person can get you the death penalty? Osama killed 3000+, Bush killed over 31000 and counting....

Are you a proponent of killing all unaborted babies?

[TomClash]

12. Ok, take a look Freeper

At the time of the battle of la drang in October '65, less than 2,000 GIs were KIA and the War was three years old.

Fewer GIs were killed during Tet than the Iraq War. Tet was a little more than a battle. It lasted for over a year. The Iraq War now looks pretty similar to Tet.

Of course, fewer are KIA than other wars and thank God for that. In Iraq they're not exactly humpin' o dark thirty, are they? Their op tempo rates are pretty low too, except for some MEF battalions who are getting fucked up the ass while your gray haired wanker boyfriend in the WH struts around playing C-I-C.

Gee, mission accomplished. Ooh-rah.

13. too many facts!

facts do not register!! :crazy:

[Roland99]

16. Long for this place you are not...mmmm?

Yoda will be tombstoned before long.

[Mr_Spock]

19. BTW, those are pat RW talking points - heard them before

Not very sophistacated....

[alittlelark]

22. Are you saying that the 'per battle' list seems higher than the overall

tally? A few people have said the same. If you are comparing the Iraq war to some other engagement, that is a different story - they are 'green zone safe'.

Welcome BTW:hi:

[tnlefty]

8. Sad kick.

I enjoyed participating in my community's small part of The World Can't Wait, and this is very sobering.

18. We lost a reservist on Monday

MADISON, Wis. - A Wisconsin Army Reserve member who checked up on his fantasy baseball league via the Internet while serving in Iraq has died from injuries suffered in an explosion there.

Sgt. 1st Class Matthew R. Kading, 32, of Madison, Wis., died Monday at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, the Pentagon said Tuesday. He had been injured near Tikrit Oct. 19 when an explosive detonated near his vehicle. He was assigned to the Army Reserve's 983rd Engineer Battalion, based in Monclova, Ohio. Army Lt. Col. Gary Kolb said Kading worked as a construction engineering supervisor.

Kading had kept in contact with friends across the country through the fantasy baseball league. Craig Ball of Meriden, Conn., one of the league managers, said he and Kading talked baseball via e-mail and instant messaging before Kading was activated for service in Iraq, and the soldier kept in touch electronically after going overseas.

"He would check our message board from Iraq," Ball said. "I guess for him it was like a piece of home." After the death, the Roberto Clemente APBA Fantasy Baseball League was renamed the Matt Kading Memorial APBA Baseball League, Ball said. Rick Roeth, a close friend, said Kading graduated from Madison East High School in 1991 and joined the Reserves before he joined the Army full time a year later.

20. Our Troops are hostages to an evil political party and its lies.

Proving we can endure is not a coherent strategy and certainly not a winning one. The difference between it and the enemy's kamikaze strategy is narrowing by the day.

23. Biggest and Most Vile Freeper Casualty Talking Point

"They enlisted didn't they?"

"He wasn't forced to go into the Marines/Army/Navy"

These lines make me ashamed to be an American.

[w8liftinglady]

25. The thing that pisses me off...

is that they are cowards behind that false bravado.90% of them never wore a uniform.Their children don't fight in these wars.They have no concept of how it is to watch the news,waiting to hear if your kid is dead today.I am ashamed of the freepers,but not of my son and his buddies.

26. RIP

a higher death rate than the first years of the Vietnam war.

[Neil Lisst]

27. I'm so angry about these losses I can barely talk about it.

The things I hear daily.

There are those who justify the war and call every dead soldier a hero. I respect soliders. I was a soldier, but when I was, I didn't understand the issues involved in military actions in which I was involved. Learning takes time, and most 19 year olds simply don't know enough about the world to know what is happening in a global sense. Understanding takes time and knowledge.

Our soldiers are soldiers who served their country and did as directed, but a man or woman cannot divorce himself or herself from the morality of killing done. When you kill someone, it is on YOU, no matter who told you to do it, no matter how you rationalize it as a state action.

We have 2000 dead soldiers there, but we have another 15,000 maimed seriously, and another 75,000 plus who are experiencing significant PTSD. The cost of this war for those vets will be monumental in decades to come.

Remind me. Where did we get Tim McVeigh? And John Mohammed? The Lord does work in mysterious ways.
