Remember that the PTSD suicides back home aren't counted. And of course our paid mercenaries don't get included in the total either.

Now that the insurgency [these are some death throes they're in!] has figured out how to shoot down our helicopters, maybe the Pentagon will decide that dying in the air doesn't technically count as dying "in Iraq".
