Real death toll - is it possible to find out |
|
Would it be possible to set up a web site for people to enter info about deaths related to our invasion of Iraq that our government doesn't count?
I was just reading an article in Vanity Fair about a recruiter who died in a roll-over after being punished for not making his quota. He had been forced to drive a long distance to be punished and than forced to drive back. (he was a passenger in the car, his fellow marine who had been through the same hellish day fell asleep at the wheel)
What about those that come back and die of their injuries here or commit suicide? Wouldn't their families and friends want to have an outlet to see that their loved one was counted?

3. well, I don't buy the rumor estimates either if it's any consolation |
|
But likewise, I assume the official stats are fake until proven otherwise, as all other official figures are likewise fake.

Have you read the Vanity Fair article? Why shouldn't that recruiters death be counted in the war deaths?
