Try counting the number of US soldiers who have been medevac'd out of Iraq. The military does not count those wounded as wounded in action unless they personally are directly hit by enemy fire. A person in a fire fight whose vehicle rolls over and is hurt is not wounded in action using the military definition -- he is hurt by cause of a traffic mishap and is medevac'd without being entered into the number of wounded. As for civilians -- 6,000 were said to have died in July -- lets not try to talk about absurdly low numbers of civilian deaths -- like 50,000.
