These Are Bush's Wars
Forget that bullshit about "Coalition of the Willing", US troops are dying or being injured in far greater numbers than are allied troops.
Total US military deaths in Iraq (April 16, 2006)
(from all causes):
2,376
Total US military deaths and injuries in Afghanistan (April 16, 2006)
(from all causes):
995
Total US military injured in Iraq (April 16, 2006):
Minimum 17,469
Total UK military injured in Iraq (April 16, 2006):
790
Let's look at coalition deaths.
Total "coalition" deaths (April 16, 2006):
Great Britain: 104
Bulgaria: 13
Denmark: 2
El Salvador: 2
Estonia: 2
Hungary: 1
Italy: 26
Kazakhstan: 1
Latvia: 1
Netherlands: 2
Poland: 17
Spain: 11
Slovakia: 3
Thailand: 2
Ukraine: 18
I have to comment on Hungary, Kazakhstan and Latvia. All deaths in this illegal war are tragic, but imagine the agony of the families of the fallen troops who were the only ones from their country to die. Jesus that's gotta hurt.
