DU. Please excuse the inconvenince! Next time don't respond!



count is done from different left leaning radio hosts. Some say that the Gov does not count someone as a war fatality if they don't actually die in Iraq or Afghanistan. Like an injured soldier is moved from a war zone but dies on the flight or in Germany, they do not count them as one of the soldier that died in Iraq. I just heard Randi Rhodes say that the total number of dead soldiers is 8000. Doe anyone have a good link that proves how the count is done?

Thanks!

1. This has been discussed on DU before. I think the 8000 figure has been

pretty much found to be unsupportable.

2. This is a hoax.

It's been proven time and time again.
Even Ted Rall -- a guy who is more than willing to say anything and everything against Bush -- printed a retraction after he used this in a cartoon

5. Don't feel bad

You aren't the first person to ask this question. I'd bet nearly every DU'er has asked it before, I know it was one of my first posts. Now it's up to you to see that it doesn't spread.

Peace.
