A serious question abut Iraq casualties
Advertisements [?]
I wonder if there's any way to make a comparison of our casulaties in Iraq to the casualties we suffered in Vietnam, but with a factor that acconts for lives saved now that would have been lost then.

Even in the face of ill equipped soldiers in Iraq, the fact is they're generally far better armored now than they were back then. Also, evacuation and medical care is far better now than then.

Without assuming any more deaths than the 1700+ currently reported, I wonder how our casualties now compare with our casualties then.
