Idiot, look at this. There are 50 year old and 60 year old soldiers dying in Iraq.
"Like Sage, 24 other local service members were killed by roadside bombs -- the No. 1 cause of death to Americans in Iraq. For both regional military members and U.S. forces as a whole, the so-called "improvised explosive devices" have caused 36 percent of the deaths. The second-biggest cause of death is hostile gunfire, which claimed the lives of 18 local soldiers. Eight others, or 11 percent, died in non-hostile vehicle accidents, the third most common cause of local deaths in Iraq. The cause-of-death data was compiled by icasualties.org, a privately-operated Web site that closely tracks injuries and deaths in the war.
The oldest soldier nationally to die was 59-year old William David Chaney, of Schaumburg, Ill. Chaney, an Army National Guardsman, was a Vietnam War veteran." |
