From now on, we'll try and kill them less violently. All this haphazard death and destruction is really bad for our stats.

Seriously, folks, it's a desert. 50 guys getting heavily blasted and plowed over by M1A1s and Bradleys aren't going to leave enough to fit in a Ziploc bag. The sand can easily cover what's left over.

Now, I agree that it is kind of amatuerish to make a claim like that to the press. We haven't been giving out enemy casualty information thus far, even when we had the bodies.

I actually think (or thought) that reporting occasional numbers that we are killing, wasn't a bad idea. Not weekly body counts, but something to show we are having an effect on the enemy and somewhat counter the media's glee in reporting our casualties.

Now though, I'm not sure especially since the media is more than willing to showcase this new tactic of casting doubt on the count accurracy.
