1. It's really been that long?

Well, I know it has... but it just doesn't seem possible that in this world such a farce could be allowed to continue for this long. :(

Just FYI.

5. Where are you getting your number 40,000?

Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 10:42 PM by KerryOn

The 14,479 are "Wounded In Action". They do not include those returned to service. This does not count the thousands injured in non-combat accidents such as helicopter crashes, mental cases etc. (These numbers are not released.)
