1. These numbers should not count toward the total losses. Accidents happen everywhere and
with so many US military personnel scattered around the world, these events are inevitable.

Really, a non-item, at least from a political perspective.

4. Some of the 58,000 odd names on the Vietnam memorial
are there because the died in vehicle accidents in Vietnam. They count, if it was not for the war, they would not have been there.

6. Non-hostile casualties definitely do "count." Read some military history.

7. Your claim clearly sounds like Ann Coulter's announcement that if Max Cleland
had dropped a grenade on himself in New Jersey instead of VietNam, he never would have been able to become a U.S. Senator.

It doesn't really work that way. These men were there because of the war. They were engaged in the war. They have little in common with military stationed at other areas in the world who are NOT engaged in war.

September 3, 2009 - 02:31:55

DIALA / Aswat al-Iraq:

Two U.S. soldiers were killed and five others wounded in a car accident Wednesday in Diala province, northeastern Baghdad, the U.S. army in Iraq said in a release Thursday.

“Two Multi-National Division - North Soldiers were killed and five wounded in a vehicle rollover accident in the Diala province,” said the release received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The names of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin and release by the Department of Defense,” it said.

The deaths brings to 4,338 the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq since the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion, including 118 who fell in 2009.

The incident marks the first two U.S. fatalities in Iraq in September 2009.
