Isn't the thread title misleading all the data is showing is Iraq Fatalities not casualties

have you got a source for the actual Iraq casualties ?
sorry, i didnt think i had to be THAT politically correct, and if u read to the bottom of the post, ull see there are 2 links, those are the sources....
to differentiate between "casualties" and "fatalities" has nothing to do with being politically correct.


the year I joined was the lowest fatality count in our military.  its been steadily rising since then.

1. where are the numbers of all the wounded? the guys without arms and legs? those who will never have a normal life, after their service in iraq?
did u check the link?

2. how can you compare inevitable deaths by accidents, illness and crime - with unnecessary deaths by war?
how can you say unnecessary accidental deaths, illness and crime is ok, but being killed while fighting for our country is bad?

3. you can also compare these numbers with the deaths by smoking, car accidents, fast food and whatever else - there is still a difference to war casualties. nobody should be sent to another country to kill people and be killed.
if we arent going to use our military, then why have one? they are fighting the terrorists over there; if you dont think we should be, than you must have forgotten about what happened on Sept 11, 2001
