6. Let's not forget that those numbers are much lower than the real numbers
We can not forget that American soldiers are not the only people who die in war, the majority of casualties are civilians and they don't get counted.

9. And those figures don't count the suicides, homicides and other casualties of war...
Nor does it calculate the divorces, missing limbs, eyes and spirits of those who survived, yet are nothing but a shell of what they were. The carnage unleashed by Bush, Cheney and conservative extremists is despicable. Yet not one person responsible for all the misery and death will be held accountable. Any thoughts of making thugs like Bush accountable for their crimes are always met with quick condemnation from conservatives. The so-called 'party of personal responsibility' always runs from accountability when one of their own commits a crime. I firmly believe if Bush had used an automatic weapon and mowed down a schoolyard full of children those on the right would defend him and blame the event on everything else, like the liberal media for reporting it, the children who should have been inside instead of playing, and on and on. Conservatives are INCAPABLE of accepting responsibility.

8. Don't forget to include the picture of the thug who premeditatively murdered them:
GW Bush, sociopath and war criminal who killed almost 5,000 US soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis. His cohort in these heinous crimes is Dick Cheney and the entire Bush Regime. They deliberately lied to go to war so they could use our military as a low paid mercenary force to protect the financial interests of their corrupt corporate buddies, like Halliburton. The Bush Regime is the most evil regime in the history of the United States. There is not one person on death row in the United States more corrupt, evil and murderous as GW Bush...

12. Sgt. Durkin died at Walter Reed on Friday.
He met Obama, apparently, while in hospital at Kabul. Sort of from my neck of the woods: http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20100414/NEWS/100419833/-1/RSS
