[Vision2020] Combat Fatalities? A new and improved no-hookers plan

[Tbertruss at aol.com]

Auntie and All:

Actually, the real death toll of US soldiers from combat in Iraq is higher 
than the figures you gave, according to Bernie Ward, who does a show M-F 10 PM- 
1 AM on KGO AM 810 from San Francisco (comes in clear after sundown most 
nights here on the Palouse unless your radio is really crappy and/or you don't aim 
it the right direction), and appears from time to time on CNN and MSNBC...

The explanation is that if a soldier is wounded in Iraq but alive, then flown 
to a hospital outside of Iraq for treatment, say, in Germany, then dies later 
from the wounds, they are not counted as a US fatality in Iraq, because they 
died elsewhere.

Would someone like to verify or dispute the truth of this claim?
