When a solder dies in Iraq or Afghanistan, unless they die in the field they aren’t counted as part of the American military death toll. For example if I’m in Iraq and I’m wounded and die right there, I would be considered part of the war casualties, But if I’m wounded and transported to a hospital, and die later, I’m not going to be counted as part of the official casualties of war. Why is this? I read that as many as 10,000 American solders may have died in this war so far? But the government probably just doesn’t want us to see those numbers.
