4000 Military Dead in Iraq, Gimme a Break

by Candace, April 7, 2008

Hi everyone, a week or so ago, we went over a supposedly 4000 US military dead in Iraq. For some reason I feel compelled to re point out, that it is far more than that. I actually did up this piece on March 25, writing it online, forgetting I could get messed up doing that and I did, I got timed out and so no post happened. I was copying material directly from http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf  

Do bookmark this link, as the Department of Defense publishes the current totals of causalities admitted to for the Iraqi Theater, called Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Afghanistan Theater, called Operation Enduring Freedom. Actually the chart called Operation Enduring Freedom includes the rest of the causalities of our forces in the world, not associated with either Theater.

Now this link takes you to our file on the AbundantHope site that I posted about a year ago, which is a collection of the weekly posts of the DOD from the beginning of the Iraq war, through July 31, 2005.  http://abundanthope.net/artman/uploads/real_dishonored_dead_001.doc   This is important, because you see, the DOD reported totally different figures weekly through July 31, 2005. Then they seemed to notice that people were actually visiting the website and discovering that the figures given by mainstream media differed from what was placed on the weekly list. So they simply shut down the service for about 2 months, returning in September 2005 with figures to match the disinformation given to the public. The lists include those killed and injured.

Now, I will give the results from July 2005 first, and these are the abbreviations used for my report and from the charts I obtained the information from.

OIF= Operation Iraqi Freedom and OEF= Operation Enduring Freedom  (Afghan theater)

KIA-= Killed in Action   WIARTD=Wounded in Action, Returned to Duty; WIA not RTD in 72 hours. Wounded in Action, NOT returned to Duty in 72 hours, meaning of course, more serious injuries. Non- hostile, is determined by subtracting KIA from Total Deaths. Other, means deaths in our forces not in these two theaters, but its included on the pdf charts under OEF.

So now, from the beginning through July 31, 2005

OIF: Total Deaths: 8571 KIA: 6477 Non-Hostile: 2092   WIARTD: 14,917  WIA not RTD:15,621

OEF: Total Deaths: 1226  KIA: 793 Non-Hostile: 433  WIARTD: 922   WIA not RTD: 1516

Other: Total Deaths: 349  KIA: 241 Non-hostile: 108 WIARTD: 495  WIA not RTD: 304

Now this is officially admitted for today, April 7, 2008

OIF: Total Deaths:4013  KIA:3274 Non-hostile: 739 WIARTD 16,364  WIA not RTD: 13,264

OEF: Total Deaths: 422  KIA: 289  Non-hostile: 133 WIARTD: 745  WIA not RTD: 1166

Other: Total Deaths: 64  KIA: 2  Non-hostile: 62  WIARTD: 0  WIA not RTD: 1

Notice the obvious discrepancies, even in the figures reported for OEF and Other, which they also remodeled during that 2-month hiatus.

Now, lets play with numbers to try to estimate the current real data, based on the admitted data of almost 3 years ago now. All I can do, is use those figures to maybe point out what they might be now. I will assume the causality figures have remained steady for month to month throughout. I will simply divide the figures from 2005 by 29 months, to get a monthly average, and then multiply that by 61 to get a more realistic current estimate. I can’t guarantee this steady figure, and I suspect because of some hidden battles that have been covered on the Internet, it may even be higher. But the figures will be very revealing, never the less.

What might really be, today April 7, 2008

OIF: Total Deaths: 18,028 KIA: 13,624 Non-hostile: 4404 WIARTD: 31,377  WIA not RTD: 32,858

OEF: Ok, this one is more difficult, because we don’t know how long they have been posting the stats on Afghanistan, because it started more than 2 years before the Iraq war. The website doesn’t give the starting date, So I will use a different figure, using 45 and 76 months since that war started, that’s almost 6 ½  years now, we have forgotten it.

OEF: Total Deaths: 2071  KIA: 1339 Non-hostile: 732  WIARTD: 1557 WIA not RTD: 2560

Other: Total Deaths: 589  KIA: 407  non-Hostile: 182  WIARTD: 836  WIA not RTD: 513

Now I find “Other” interesting. What are we doing elsewhere in the world, that perhaps 589 are dead with 407 KIA?  What action please, I ask. These are combat deaths, and injuries.

So, the total USA Military Deaths since the Afghanistan War began, (assuming the government charts of 2005 and now, go back to the beginning of Afghanistan), the total military possible dead in all theaters is 20,688.  And the possible figure for seriously injured MIA not RTD is 35,931.

Quite a lie being told, even if my figures are possibly high, isn’t it? And it might be worse, there has been a lot of cover-ups. Also in the counts of the dead, there are folks on the field who have reported on the internet, that one as to be completely dead on the field, to be counted in the death tolls. If they die later in the field hospital or after they are returned to the USA, they aren’t counted. So it could be really higher, because you know, there have to deaths that occur afterwards from complications. These ones have reported that even if they die a few hours later, just after entry into the field hospital they aren’t counted.

And this is just a start; there are so many more implications of these wars. First for just the USA, there is the loss and grieving to the families involved. Many soldiers with injuries have some really serious injuries to cope with all their lives. Then there is the Depleted Uranium Poisoning (DU), mental illness, loss of able-bodied men to serve in civilian roles after military service, and then the military has to recruit men to replace these. There’s the little babies born malformed from DU, there’s little babies born into stressed out families, with drug abuse. How many soldiers come home on drugs, or alcohol? How many come home riddled in guilt?

Then there are the ones who went AWOL because of what they saw there. We have no numbers, but many are reported to be in Ireland. Who even knows. These ones may be forever separated from family, if we don’t make amends that will allow them to return. This was an illegal, immoral war after all, and they deserve to come back at its end.

And regards that DU, it comes home on their bodies, clothing, and gear. It comes home born on the wind. It travels around the world. Lots of little babies are being born now in the middle east with birth defects, where the concentration is heaviest. I posted a few pictures of these somewhere on the site.

But the greater issues are not for the American Soldiers. There are many mercenaries in Iraq, both supplying goods and armed men. Romania contributes a lot of troops. Who knows who else does? There are many enlistments of foreigners who are MAYBE promised entry and possible citizenship into this country for their service. How many of them are dead and not in the counts?

How many have truly died serving in the “coalition of the willing?”   And then we must look at the costs to the civilians of these two countries we have occupied by force, and all those “others” where there have been American Military deaths.

To date, these figures are from the computers that record such, and supplied by Christ Michael as I write this. 2,345, 123 excess deaths above the normal death rate in Iraq, since the start of the occupation.  They are dying faster from all the conditions of war deaths. People killed outright, and others dying from disease, bad food and water, or not enough of both, heat and cold because the electricity doesn’t work, and the like. Lots of little kids in this.

In Afghanistan, the really forgotten occupation in the USA, there are now about 4,500,000 and my source is also Christ Michael from the computers. So we have about nearly 7 million known and recorded deaths by star fleet computers, not counting the admitted and estimated military deaths above.

What about our games elsewhere in the world? What about the deaths in Africa that black ops funds? What about all the misery in this world, caused by actions of our leaders of the USA alone, without counting the other games played about the world by everybody?  Disgusting and incomprehensible.

There are at least 2 million refugees as I have seen reported from Iraq in other countries. Many living in sad conditions without employment. Breeds crime, where people do not have enough. What is the toll of just our occupations of these 2 countries? And folks, we essentially occupy a whole lot of other countries, or have great control over them, through our bases in 130 countries.

What is left of Iraq and Afghanistan? I suspect both are pretty well leveled. We own that pipeline project we stole from Venezuela in Afghanistan. It was given by the Taliban to Venezuela, instead of Unocal, a partially owned Bush organization. And the poppies are growing like crazy, because the drug trade provides a lot of money to fund black ops projects. Best crops ever, since the United States military is there to protect the flow.

And Iraq has been divided up according to which oil companies will further rape it. And recently I heard on TV the appalling concept that the Iraqi’s aren’t contributing enough of their oil money for the rebuilding of the country our soldiers destroyed. And where is American in this. Why aren’t the churches using their power in numbers to do anything about it? Well, I here tell that black ops folks are intimidating them, reminding them, if they get political, there goes their 501C3 status, they don’t even need to operate in the first place. Churches and Schools are not required to obtain this tax-exempt status. Plus there is all the ministers supporting the idea that we must kill the Muslims before they kill us, still.

And this week, we are still planning on playing this terrible game in Iran, and heaven only knows where else in the middle east. Apparently there is a huge build up of Israeli troops on the Syrian border. I think it is anyway. I read so much, I get lost in it.

How many destroyed businesses, hospital, schools, and homes in Iraq? How much infrastructure is gone? What if we in America were on the other side of the fence? Media keeps calling anyone not cooperating in Iraq, insurgents and terrorists, but really, they are trying to force us occupiers out of their country. Our black ops over there set up situations to cause civil war between the religious factions. A lot of car bombs, bombings of religious buildings and artifacts are black ops to deliberately destabilize the country. And let me tell you, if the shoe was on the other foot, we would I hope be defending ourselves, and we would also have even more problems with unrest between groups and religions. We are heavily separated here, even within families.

How many raped women exist there? There is a special issue, as the husbands, and fathers may not be so accepting of this condition that always occurs in war. ALWAYS.  Then there is looting by the soldiers, huge numbers of warrant less and unneeded arrests. They actually said on TV the other day, that every single Iraqi either has a dead family member now, and many have more than one.

And this weekend on CNN I heard a reporter make fun of the concept of Machiavellianism, the idea that anything, anytime is just fine, in pursuit of political power. Likes its just OK. That comment took place during a discussion about Martin Luther King. Yep, what happened with King was Machiavellian. And so is this who new world order idea that is so very destructive.

I have only touched a bit on the issues with these occupations. Then take a look at the occupation of Israel over Palestine. God doesn’t give out real estate to his favorite folks and he doesn’t play favorites in the first place.

What gets me is that Americans don’t ever get that we are an occupied nation. We are, so are you folks living in the EU. And just about anywhere else on the planet. The whole planet is occupied by the deceivers. I assume there is not one truly free place on the planet, unless its in an undiscovered jungle somewhere.

I spent a lot of time on the figures above, twice. I would ask all of you to send this little piece everywhere. The numbers talk. The cost of the supposed cheap gasoline is going to be very expensive.  Take care, Candace
