That article is complete garbage. He doesn't identify any of his sources, except one Lt. Colonel that says 473 people died in battle. I can pull statistics out of my ass too and say that they came from "a Pentagon source."

Just more liberal leftist conspiracy theorizing...

That sounds to me like a straw-man argument. Not only is that not what I said, but him being a Vietnam veteran does not make him an expert on what happened in Iraq.

He has no testable evidence or verifiable sources to support his claim of 14,000 deaths. Whether or not "I think a Vietnam Veteran would lie" is pretty much irrelevant.

Try again.

why go into argument fallice details when the facts aren't straight?

the article itself states:

quote:

Lt. Col. Scott D. Ross of the U.S. military's Transportation Command told me that as of Dec. 23, his outfit had evacuated 3,255 battle-injured casualties and 18,717 non-battle injuries. Of the battle casualties, 473 died and 3,255 were wounded by hostile fire. Following are the major categories of the non-battle evacuations: Orthopedic surgery – 3,907 --- 4000 people broke bones, maybe playing football during all the breaks? General surgery – 1,995 --- 2000 had surgery of different sorts, doesn't tell us minor or not. Internal medicine – 1,291 --- I have no clue wtf this is Psychiatric – 1,167 --- 1000 people went crazy Neurology – 1,002 --- 1000 people's brain fried in the hot destert sand Gynecological – 491 ---- 500 people were 'gettin some' in Iraq Sources say that most of the gynecological evacuations are pregnancy-related, although the exact figure can’t be confirmed – Pentagon pregnancy counts are kept closer to the vest than the number of nuke warheads in the U.S. arsenal. Ross cautioned that his total of 21,972 evacuees could be higher than other reports because “in some cases, the same service member may be counted more than once.”

Therefore since at highest only "473 died and 3,255 were wounded by hostile fire", you can count no more than 4000 casualties. Thats more than a power of three less than Mr. Hackworth's figure.


Oh and the source's bias is clearly anti-war both pre and post invasion. His hippiness is clear with his statement "Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and retired Gen. Tommy Franks should be required to report to a congressional committee convened to investigate both the invasion and the planning – or lack of planning – for the occupation of Iraq."

I don't see what you're attempting to prove by mentioning the WMDs or lack thereof in the same paragraph as the casualty count - the two issues are completely unrelated. Same with the words like "commie" and "BS pentagon source". The fact is, he has no verifiable source, so we can't trust his information.

By the way - quoting yourself? Yeck.

Exactly why we can't make any assumptions about the other evacuation units, if any.
