US Casualties up to 635, was 619 yesterday (lists)
.
.
.

http://lunaville.org/warcasualties/ByState.aspx

Lists by Name, Rank, Date, State, City.

It would have been easier to paste in the last few days, but I thought maybe the names, cities, and so on might not be appreciated in this board so here's a quick breakdown in the last few days

8th none so far
7th 1 reported
6th 9 reported
5th 8 reported
4th 12 reported

Note, those numbers are confirmed, with the names, cities and rank - so these would be the "low" numbers

I know . . .

ONE is too many

(sigh)

2. Like That Scene in Gone With The Wind...

I read all the names, my heart clenched like a fist
And pray that my own family is not on the list.
Two friends and a relative, that's three names I fear
Will show up in stark bleeding letters on here.

I damn that foul bastard who squats on our face
And poisons the White House with his lying disgrace!
If my baby dies during this strife, to * will say I
"Curse you alive, curse you after you die!"

"Fuck you in the heart, what little you own,
Fuck you alive, and after you're gone!
I rip off your head and fuck your dead skull!
Till my balls are empty and your head finally full!"

"Fuck your daughters, your wife and your name,
Your family fortune, and your family name!
Your father, your mother, your brothers, your wife!
Fuck you FOREVER, the REST of your LIFE!"

"I piss on your grave, I crap on your head,
I spit in your eye sockets after you're dead!
And all of your minions, your masters and thralls!
I pray to Almighty you'll choke on your own balls!"

7. The Scene In Atlanta

Outside the newspaper, reading the score
Of those who had perished during the war.
When Scarlett found out that Ashley was spared,
But the Tarleton Twins no longer were there.

I feel like those people, waiting to hear
Not wanting to, but.... a-tremble with fear.
War is the same, no matter the era
And if * has his way, we'll pay taxes on terra.

5. I realize that, but that's their "classification" on that site
Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 03:00 PM by ConcernedCanuk

And I've been "reminded" by fellow DUers before on "misrepresenting" what the article/source says in exact words.

I actually HAD typed in deaths, and when I went back to get the link, I noticed that the word that site uses is casualties - -

and yup,

I realize that the casualties are in the thousands,

more like Tens of thousands when you figure in the emotional damage that many of the soldiers and families/friends will be scarred with for life . .

on edit: - it's gone up 1 since my original post

(sigh)

I guess they don't get on the chart I was using because they are not identified yet ?

I'll keep checking now and then

oh

here's the page for the chart http://lunaville.com/warcasualties/Counts.aspx


Theres a drop down feature to select all, or just US or just UK, etc.

Hmm just noticed, there's only 11 countries in the drop down list -

so that's all that is left of the "coalition" ?

anyhoo

THANKS for checking up on me - I learned something!
