US Army urges dead to re-enlist

[Mailman]

Mind you its a good job they are not transferred to UK hospitals then MSRA would have wiped all of them out .

Yeah, and if MRSA didnt get them then the visiting relations of muslims in the general ward they are in will get them!

UK figures are similar for Injuries. they have a walking wounded figure, If you have your arms blown off you are walking wounded...

Oh dear! the fact is the DoD records of how many are dead are incomplete ??

Sending letters to dead men tends to indicate a wee gap in the actual Dead to the Reported Dead.

The Reported dead .. at the hands of DoD "honest reporting" is 3000.

However a report posted in NYtimes in 2005 showes that the "Wounded alone in the year 2003 to 2004 was 130,000 US.

The recognised equation for the ratio of dead to wounded is 7%

Given that the numbers of wounded would now stand at 390,000 the 7% ratio of dead now stands at 30,000 not the DoD 3000.

My understanding is that the actual figures of the US dead are calculated on the basis that they must have been killed in Iraq on the battlefield, many troops who suffer terrible wounds are transferred to Army hospitals in Germany and the US, those who do not survive their wounds and die in hospital - apparently are not classified as battlefield casualties.

Mind you its a good job they are not transferred to UK hospitals then MSRA would have wiped all of them out .

The age of "ENLISTMENT" was increased to 33 to bring the army in to line with the other arms of the defence force.

Sappatz, with skills like that you should be in parliament
