Which reminds me... 210 have died as the result of "non hostile" causes. Is the death rate that high under peaceful conditions? I can see where a car accident on the way to work, or a heart attack, would be considered "non hostile", but I've never gotten the impression this is the sort of thing they're talking about. It seems to be more a deal where they say, "Gee, the helicopter just sort of fell down by itself.".

For the most part, the press has mostly dropped the farce of reporting the deaths separately, even though the military continues with the spin that the casualties are less due to different types of dead.
