Ur right, this is looking rather strange...
Anyone else have any info on this? What does "non-hostile" mean? Did they all commit suicide or something, cause they felt they were fighting for no just cause?

Accidents do happen. Either human err or mechanical. 3/4 of the deaths in my unit were not combative. It's not all that surprising. This is why units have a safety officer, to try and decrease this.

Oh cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.

Not drinking and driving. Most vehicle accidents in Iraq, and yes there are alot, are roll-overs. They happen all the time.

Public thanks to Catzmeow for enabling me to make my goal of half a million credits by Xmas.

And many more died in one day many times during WWII. We should be celebrate that this war has had so few casualties compared to all previous wars.

wars should never be celebrated

especially this one which does not have any basis in self defense

its just a grab for oil reserves and power

why dont you go there and fight the good fight?

Mr Reagan

What you are really saying in this post is that you would like for more of the deaths of Americans troops to be the cause of combat so that you can continue to say the war is a failure so the democrats can have an election issue in November.

Sad that democrats would rather see America loose a war so that they can win an election. How sad you must be that we are winning the war.

No, only victory.

Is that why the price is falling at the pump?
Already did that.
