2. It's a damn shame when hundreds have to die
to get rid of a U.S. president.

May they all R.I.P.

3. Also, look at the News Hour with Jim Lehrer
on PBS. It is the only news program, to my knowledge, that puts up the pictures and names of those killed to date at the end of his program.

6. We stand in reverence
to the Roll Call every night, and every night I cry again over those 19 - 22 year olds (mostly) getting killed for *'s lies.

Bless The News Hour for paying them tribute.

8. About all of these Humvee accidents
Does anyone have non-combat/vehicular casualty numbers from any other war? From the looks of this list, the most dangerous thing a soldier in Iraq could do would be to get into a military transport truck.

16. Someone else on DU had brought this up.
They were saying that Humvees are very stable and don't easily roll over like that. But that a grenage thrown under the vehicle would cause it to roll over.

And why is this death listed as "hostile"?

6/25: MacDonald - MacDonald was killed when his light armored vehicle he was traveling in rolled over.

...when other rollovers are listed as "nonhostile"?

I wonder if it's true, as starroute posted (#10?) that they are counting too many deaths as nonhostile that should actually go in the hostile column? It does seem strange that there are almost twice as many nonhostile deaths as nonhostile. Do the media count only the hostile deaths?

10. Iraqwar.ru is skeptical about a lot of those non-combat deaths
I can't get the URL for the article to post correctly. The site address is http://www.iraqwar.ru/?userlang=en and the article is called "Guerrilla Warfare in Iraq: Analysis of casualties since 1st of May."

The article states, "38 of the 82 killed coalition troopers have died in helicopter crashes, traffic accidents and other similar reasons. Recent evidence suggests that in many of the incidents the accidents and crashes happened during very chaotic situations during or immeadeatly after an ambush or attack against coalition troops. In many incidences helicopters have crashed while flying very low at high speeds, during the night and probably in great haste. Similar situation also aplies to many of the traffic accidents which have happened during a firefight following ambush or while the vehicle was on its way to respond to an ambush. Enemy fire may also have contributed to the deaths."

15. Doesn't matter. Dead is dead.
If they hadn't been sent, I bet the vast majority would still be alive.

14. I am acquainted with Robert Frantz' mother.
Back when I lived in San Antonio, we played on the same softball team. I knew her son several years ago as Robby. Weird. Now he's dead. Died for a lie; a hell of a thing...

17. Does DOD separate the names by combat/non-combat deaths?
I always find this disturbing. They're all dead as a result of going to Bush's war, they all were serving the country when they died, even if they weren't all in direct combat. If I were the parent of one of the non-combat dead, I'd be upset that my child's death was being minimized by being separated from the combat deaths. Isn't that just the administration's way of trying to say "See, it's not so bad, just a few have died because of war ." As an argument, it doesn't hold up, since they'd all be alive without the war, and they all went to Iraq in service of the same cause. JMO
