The “relatively minor losses” is a comment that is mine and mine alone. I am sorry for any misunderstanding. <BR/><BR/>I was speaking of the number of deaths since we entered Iraq. The number of fatalities in Operation Iraqi Freedom as of July 10th is at 3,609. For a four year time period, that is a really low number. If we use your 3 million served number (which I am having trouble verifying) that is 0.1%. I am having a little more difficulty finding a source for total injured. If we stick with your 30,000 number we are talking about <B> 1% </B> not 10%. A 1 % casualty rate is a relatively minor loss to me.Andy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659445086323172664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366449.post-88159984504684401602007-07-10T12:56:00.000-05:002007-07-10T12:56:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.familymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366661206547769309noreply@blogger.com
