since we have never reported body counts, its hard to know. its also hard to know why we have body counts for this event.

don't kow if anyone has answered this question yet, but here are my 2 cents:

Somebody in the Administration finally wised up. By not reporting our successes, we have played into the hands of our detractors. The only news to report is our losses, and the other side is making hay out of those numbers while the Administration refused us the opportunity to show the balance.

Hopefully, that has now changed.

"...hard to know why we have body counts for this event...."

Perhaps it was because someone thought we needed a body count. And if it boosts our morale it may boost the troops' morale, which is much more important.
