Did anyone else notice that on 4/3 the DoD lowered the wounded totals

[Sandpiper]

For the war in Iraq, and started reporting a lower number of wounded prior to 4/3/04? They also changed the categories of wounded from hostile/non hostile to wounded returned to duty within 72 hours, and wounded not returned to duty.

Lunaville posted this on their website and drew attention to the tweaked numbers and subsequent lower totals. They have both the old numbers and the revised numbers posted on their website.

What I don't understand is, how did the total get lower? Did some people become unwounded? The whole thing seems pretty shady to me, and makes me wonder why no one in the media has paid any attention to it.

See for yourself

2. Well, I thought that...

...figures never lie, but liars always figure. But this proves that even figures can lie when liars are in control of them.:wtf:

3. I was just looking at that

The total of reported wounded is suspiciously low. 2374 wounded with 1256 returning to duty in 72 hours? Yeah, right, and I'm sure you want me to buy a bridge in Brooklyn.
