how many soldiers have been killed in combat so far in May, as compared to March and April? I believe we lost 3 today, but what do the figures look like for the first half of May?
By my count we've lost 26 in the first two weeks. I don't have the monthly figures handy but, at this rate, I believe that May will be high on the list of bad months.
I got the May hostile death count total from: CentCom Casualty Reports. Note that the list includes reports from both Iraq and Afghanistan. It also includes deaths from accidents.
