A VERY ELABORATE U.S. CASUALTY CALENDAR AND DETAILED CALENDAR TIME LINE!
CALENDAR OF U.S. MILITARY DEAD DURING IRAQI WAR:
cryptome.org/mil-dead-iqw.htm
Runs a calendar of US Military dead whose most recent edition listed as
"Updated 10 September 2004. Total 1,039 US Dead"
(More soldiers have been killed since then, with, of course, many more Iraqi civilians killed. Also, U.S. bombing has all but destroyed certain smaller cities, like Najaf, outside of Bagdad, or has made them virtually uninhabitable to normal life. And the U.S. is still trying to steal the oil -- but the Iraqi resistance won't let the U.S. do that easily. The corporate media continues to lie to us, wherever they can get away with it, about U.S. military "pinprick bombing" and American soldiers on "a noble cause". The U.S. made the mistake of thinking that the U.S. military-occupied Iraqi people were just like the, by comparison, virtually unarmed Palestinians. NOW WAR AIN'T *FUN* ANYMORE for the U.S.!)
[Some of non-hostile casualties include post-traumatic stress disorder suicides (in Iraq or after returning back home); so-called "friendly fire" accidents/deaths; so-called 'depleted' uranium and other toxic exposure illnesses or later cancer deaths; non-combat military occupational hazard casualties/deaths; "vehicle accidents" (typically a euphemism for roadside bombing, RPG, or gunfire forced vehicle accident casualties/deaths); accidental weapons discharge casualties/deaths; time-lingered combat deaths back on American soil; various incapcitating environmental illnesses (typically from working in unaccustomed intense desert heat); etc.]
