Who has a list of the exact reasons for the deaths?

I remember when the usual suspects were dancing in the streets over 500 and 25% of those werent even combat related.  The remainder were those who died in Europe of infections or illnesses - also not combat related - but were included because they were flown out of Iraq for medical treatment.  Acouple car accidents come to mind, as well.

A death is a death - dont misunderstand me here - but to inflate the numbers for what Im assuming to be a political argument is sick.

Toad - I dont think thats the beginning to an argument, I think its the end.

Looks like Lazs was right from a numerical standpoint.

really, the key year is missing.

where is the 2003 info?

what the chart doesn't show is that in all probability, the deaths from other causes either stayed the same or increased.  on top of the aditional 700 deaths.

the Iraqi combat deaths are in adition too, not instead of.

but isn't that part of the job description?

none were drafted, all signed up willingly .. I think the majority of soldiers know the risks and accept them as they do their orders

Couple of thoughts:

Expect things in Iraq for the US to get alot worse as power is handed over to the iraqis and then afterwards for some time.

I wouldnt be surprised to exceed 1,500 US combat deaths before the new government is established enough to withdraw most US forces and button away emergency reserves.

I really wish an apache had been on hand to obliterate those hundreds of sunnis who murdered and were celebrating by dragging around bodies.

The sunnis may need to get cleaned out.  Hate to say it but Im afraid they may need a thrashing of the highest order.  Might be the only alternative to future stability in Iraq.

Pongo, were you aware that a Canadian civilian was killed by a crazed mob in Iraq this past week?  Im just curious if canadian news reported it.

What I find interesting is that 1991 is the high-water mark for total # of deaths and deaths by suicide.  After that, the numbers decreased until 2002.

What happened in '87 and '89?  Was that Somalia?

If you take the total deaths against the total troops in the report above, you get anywhere from 1 death for every 1400-1900 troops for the last 10 years before and including 2002.


If you use 250k of troops in Iraq (guess, if wrong and you know the correct number to use... use it) against 700 deaths you get 1 death for every 357 troops.


 a little dirty but a guesstimate

no they signed on to protect our country,  not this revinue scam.  their lives are being mis-spent.

again, iraq is not the 'war on terror', it is deverting resources from the war on terror.  and some how the proffits fall into the pockets of haliburton.
