May Caps Deadliest Six-Month Period For America Of Entire Iraq War

The deadliest Friedman Unit. “With eight days still to go, May 2007 caps the deadliest six-month period for America of the entire Iraq war — 540 dead, and counting.” May also ends the first six-month period during which at least 80 American service personnel (never mind contractors) died every single month. It's been quite a Friedman Unit. Hopefully, there won't be another fatality the remainder of May; but if the pace continues at the present rate, April and May will also become the first back-to-back triple-digit fatality months.
