The speaker at the Memorial Day ceremony I covered yesterday
was making mention of war casualties and when he came to Afghanistan he said 600 of our soldeirs had been killed there. Does this gel with official numbers?

3. He may have been factoring in the casualties from other countries.
www.icasualties.org has been accurate so far.
