Do you think the Pentagon is lying about the number of troops that have died because of the Iraq war?

Question

I think so, because they only seem to say, the troops that die IN IRAQ. That doesn't seem to account for the troops that have died from things like mortally inflicted wounds after hospital care, or suicide. I can't seem to find any official numbers please help.

Answer 1

Believe it.......you people find suspicion in everthing....

Here is true counts by independent sources ( not the pentagon)
Only interested in the body counts??? How about some positive facts?? Link 2 & 3

Answer 2

I think if a person votes then they must believe in the government. THEN if you actually voted for the current president (which I am still proud to say
I did, not proud of everything thing he's done maybe, but I wouldn't go back and change anything!), then you should have faith in the government and trust that WHATEVER they choose to tell us is ALL we need to know. Sometimes I think TOO much is made public. Trust yourself also, do those numbers really matter? TOO many have died, but that is what happens in war, and we are at war for a very good reason. (in my opinion, I'm not forcing that on you!) Our homeland must be protected, our backyards must be safe, our kids must be able to go to school without the sirens going off. So far the best way to get this done is this war ... keep in mind
I said SO FAR. I don't agree with anything 100%, but I stand by my President and Country 100%. Just as with any Faith ... sometimes we just have to trust. Thanks for the opportunity to share my thoughts!

Answer 3

Do you know that more military personel die everyday elswhere from accidents, etc. than have died in Iraq in any month of the war. Why do people make such a big fuss about somebody dying in Iraq, These people ore trying to protect your rear end and the country. More people die every day in car wrecks than have died in the 4+ years of the Iraq war....Nuf Said

Answer 4

No, I don't think they are lying. First, we have freedom because
of our troops. Many people are against the war because they
hate our President. Each person has a day to die and has
a day to be born. If a man or woman dies for their country it
is honorable. Now, did you know that two marines who rescued
Jessica Lynch came home from Iraq on leave and died in a
automobile accident. When they were rescuing her they lived
and it wasn't their day but they came home and died. Our lives
are not our own, God only gives us so much time in this short
life and we can live for Him or live for ourselves.

Answer 5

Well if you go to any of the webpages that list causualties, you will see that they do list where they soldier died,

IE:

In Iraq, or In Germany from wounds or at Walter Reed or Non combat caualties in iraq.

Try the link below, it list every casualty and details.

You will notice the 9th name on the list Sgt. Brandon E. Adams was listed as dying at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C, from wounds received in Iraq.

Answer 6

Yes, you may be interested to know that the statistics only include those soldiers that die on Iraqi soil. A soldier that gets wounded and then dies elsewhere does not get counted. So much for honesty from this administration.

Answer 7

Conspiray theorists are so entertaining. As someone previously pointed out, the official lists also note WHERE they died, and not all died directly in Iraq. Only silly people count youtube as a valid source of information.

FYI Elo...Jessica Lynch isn't dead. One of her rescuers died in a carwreck back here in the states.

Answer 8

In case no one has been paying attention, the Yahoo! news reports tells about ALL that have been killed and exact numbers are given on the DoD web site. Stop watching that crap on the You Tube and you'll have exact info. Go for the gold and get the facts from the source, not the dog gone media. You know they don't tell the truth, don't you? Only the truth as 'they' see it.

Answer 9

i don't care what website you record or if it states that it got here from the Pentagon. The discern is misguided. i will record 10 cases as many websites that record the kind lots lots decrease. Your biased aspects additionally do not separate those AWOL's into categories. human beings who purely did not look for accountability, human beings who had to look after private corporation, human beings who did not checklist for their weekend etc. very very nearly all of those return to accountability after their concerns are taken care of. they have not "left" because of the conflict. i'm married to the army and there is continuously military subject concerns in the information. all kinds of stuff. there has been no pronounced circumstances around right here in any respect. in case you certainly talked to human beings in the army, you will locate that maximum folk thoroughly understand what the conflict is approximately and believe being there. you quite would desire to alter into advised and get genuine info particularly of propaganda.

Answer 10

Yes, I think they are lying about all of it; the number of dead, wounded Americans and the number of dead, wounded Iraqis.

The only time those in Washington aren't lying is when their mouths are shut.
