Chilling Story of the US Military

[chamacco]

Do you remember how many U.S. soldiers died in the first Gulf War?

On television at the time, they told you it was around 64. Later, as news agencies recalculated the total from a variety of sources, it became 146.

But now, some 13 years later, according to the Veterans Administration itself, the first Gulf War death toll among U.S. troops who served there stands at 8,013! And this a figure from a 2002 report.

I was reminded of this hideous numerical progression recently when I read the Pentagon's report listing 534 American military fatalities as of Feb. 1, 2004.

Almost immediately after seeing that, I read the story by Australian investigator Joe Vialls saying the American combat death toll from Iraq was actually 1,188.
