The 4th Infantry Division moved into Iraq in force in late December for another year-long deployment, and in less than a two-week period, 11 of its soldiers were killed.

The first of those casualties came on Dec. 26 when Chief Warrant Officers Richard Salter of Cypress and Isaias Santos died in Baghdad when their Apache helicopter crashed after a collision with another aircraft.
In the next two days, three enlisted soldiers were killed in Baghdad by improvised bombs while on patrol.
The worst toll to the division came on Jan. 5 when two officers and three enlisted men _ among them Sgt. Johnnie Peralez of Kingsville _ were killed in Najaf when a roadside bomb detonated near their Humvee.
Francey said sustaining so many casualties so quickly makes clear that U.S.-led forces still have a lot of work to do in Iraq.
.... That is intersesting. To me, sustaining so many casualties so quickly makes it clear the US needs to get the hell out of there!
