What were not being told about US death tolls in Iraq and Afaganistan 

7-29-07

If a soldier dies after being moved, the death is not counted.  If the soldier had a green card, it's not counted.  If the soldier doesn't die in direct open combat, it's not counted.  If the soldiers next of kin cannot be located or doesn’t have any, it’s not counted.  Deaths of combat troops are not counted officially until the military confirms the status of their kin.

The official Pentagon numbers of troop levels, desertions, etc speak for themselves.  We have official account of battalions dying each month. That's about 900 people.   We have 6-8 thousand  deserters each year.

Just during Falluja assault two years ago, we had German newspapers reporting full hospital capacity.  That was 20 thousand cots just in Germany.  We know that the stat rate is about 20% for deaths resulting from injuries.  That's 4K deaths just in German hospital during the Falluja time frame two years ago.   The US has lost over 70-90K soldiers by now using their own "official" counts from various mainstream sources.  That's 30K deaths if extremely optimistic.  The official US number just above 3K is total nonsense.

Lets not forget about the invisible dead.  The contracted mercenary soldiers who accompany the U.S. Army in Iraq get paid on average 17K per month.  17 thousand!  Their casualty rate is super high — higher than that of the regular US  soldiers.  They drive and protect the convoys supplying the Green Zone, and transport US troops; so they are the prime targets, with high attrition rates which go mostly unreported.  They're paid by the U.S. but are conveniently outside legal jurisdiction. more...

Why do you think Bush through his broad dictatorial powers has outlawed taking pictures of flag draped coffins?  Make no mistake about it there is a draft or something worse coming down the pike.
