"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
101,000 U.S. Casualties a Year
Submitted by Jeremy H. on Wed, 2008-05-14 15:00
?This adds up to 655,000 US casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan , an average of just under 101,000 Americans killed or wounded every year since the wars began.? That's American casualties only, not Iraqis and Afghans. But we keep hearing that "only" 4,000 have died in Iraq (plus another 500 in Afghanistan ).
