[Vision2020] The Human Toll

[Matt Decker]

Troops,

Just like in any other war none to man, no one knows the others casualties. 
That my friends is up to the other team to put forth the effort to name and 
put out figures of the dead/injured. A quote from Full Metal Jacket, "ain't 
war hell".

>>Donovan asks:

>>"...what about the Iraqis?"
>>
>>Iraqi citizens are important.  They are human beings.  Many are being 
>>indiscriminately slain and injured by insurgents and by the other perils 
>>of warfare including U.S. military action.  Many slain are among those 
>>trying to rebuild their country.
>>
>>We need to consider their deaths as tragic as any other, especially since 
>>many of those slain did request the war nor support it from the beginning.
>>
>>However, where would we get a list like the one that Tom Hansen posts of 
>>our unfortunate countrymen who paid the ultimate price for this 
>>misadventure (not to mention the price paid by their families, friends, 
>>employers, etc)?
>>
>>
>>Perhaps Donovan you could supply us with such a list.
