Hi J. Chris Parson; Re: "That report was honest, but I wonder if he was counted as a casualty of the Iraq war. It's my understanding that the military just counts people as "killed in Iraq" if their DEATH CERTIFICATES list Iraq as their place of death for causulty statistics. Technically honest, but VERY deceptive."

I proved that this wasn't the case. I showed that the soldier involved was included in a list by a (Bush hating) organization that takes it upon itself to total up the war dead for the Iraq war. Did you even read my post.

Re: "Consider this finding on another war ..."

I doubt that the Vietnam "finding" is accurate either. A very long time has gone by since Vietnam and I doubt that it's possible to falsify a false claim about the Vietnam war totals. But try to look at it from a reasonable point of view. If there were 20,000 people died of wounds after leaving Vietnam, how come all their relatives aren't making trouble because their names are missing from the Vietnam war memorial?

The evidence you're providing is considerably thinner than the evidence that Bush used to get us into this disaster. I doubt you're convincing anybody.

Re: ... from a source that is a big supporter of President Bush."

Aren't you a bit surprised that a "big supporter of President Bush" would have an article titled "Is Bush's Vietnam Policy Causing His Moral and Ethical Compass To Spiral Out Of Control?" on its front page?
