Worthless war.

Bodycount was 2,242 when I started this Sunday. When Cindy Sheehan was arrested at Bush’s State of the Union address, her T-shirt said, “2,245 Dead. How many more?” – a reference to the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq.

Quite strange.

To most of us these are just names on our screens, but the family members of those who died, especially the 20 some year old troops, are probably devistated. We can’t really realize what they are going through. Death is a horrible thing.

And there are 2,400 families that went through horrible grief during this time of “war”. It seems like taking off your hat doesn’t quite cut it.

8

It doesn’t.
Call your congressman.

Hats off as well to the innocent Iraqis killed… is it 10 or 100 times that number? or more?

Iraqbodycount.net

The 100th British soldier dies.

Here my very first post in the unicycling community: One Wheel Against War - #67
it was adressing that very concern:(

12

Number of active duty deaths surpassing 2,330.

Number of active duty deaths surpassing 2,330.

Not since Vietnam have so many USA families been informed of the death of their child in Iraq.

According to front page story in today’s NYTimes, the USA stinks at death notifications, and tries to tell the families (incorrectly) that they cannot view the body.

And after informing the family, they walk away from the family without offering any comfort.

I think that’s just plain wrong. What do you think?

Death is nothing without life and life as no meaning if it’s not ended by death…
War is a horrible thing.
just take it for what it’s worth but I feel sad for you (I mean the US in general). I hope I’ll never know the feeling of saying goodbye to someone who is on a “good” way to a violent death.
Beside all political arguments, I feel sad for all the bodies, whatever land they come from.:frowning:

14

Number of people who died on 9/11, 2,986.
Because we started this war, we have nearly doubled the number of American deaths.
Not to mention the 30,000+ Iraqis who have so far died.

15

MANY more deaths of US and coalition soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This war is different in that a lot of the support is provided by military contractors–civilians who work for Haliburton yet who put themselves in danger, and die. These people also died serving the USAs invasion, but don’t get counted with the soldier deaths.

Does anyone track deaths of US military contractors? Does anyone have numbers?

16

The Iraq Coalition Casualty Count has partial numbers.

17

I mean, it sucks that they died, but I cant really feel sorry for them. Its not like they didnt choose to go fight thier wars of imperialism. Compared to the number of Iraqis dead, our numbers are almost insignifigant.

18

Profit before people

Please don’t be so hard on them. The USA economy has been demolished by Bush’s economic policies. Wages have not kept pace with inflation. Unemployment is high. And people have to feed their families.

Even Wal-Mart has a plan to dump the people who have been working here a long time, because they make more money, so Wal-Mart is harassing them by making them be on call to work odd hours and stuff. This was on the front page of the NYTimes recently.

cannot feed a family on Wal-Mart wages. :frowning:

Thanks for the link, Raphael!

And now they’ve gone and passed that torture bill, putting your soldiers at even greater risk.
Whose side are they on anyway?

Clearly J.H. Blair’s.
