A tough read: The Memory Hole's record of our Iraq WIAs

[Bucky]

Part of the peculiar character of how the Iraqi resistance fights is their use of explosives--roadside bombs, IEDs, rocket-propelled grenades. When they hit our guys but don't kill them, they still manage to take some arms, legs, and eyes from the American and coalition forces.
