Are there any casualty figures for the Iraqis we conscripted?

just wondering...

does it matter?

I have a great deal of sympathy for them. We made it worse for so many there. We are supposed to lead. We're leading these men back to a life of militarism. There has got to be something else we can do with these men. Unfortunately we have the military making most of the political decisions in Iraq.

1. Not That I've Heard

30K+ as a guesstimate?

Unfortunately, the Military is controlling the news and...like Vietnam...there is a Killed-To-One-Ratio that promotes careers in the Army.

The Navy has different (IMHO Saner) standards including the Jar-Heads.
