What? So now we're adding traffic accidents to the Iraq death toll? This is Lib hysteria at its best.

This was a Centcom casualty release. Not an MSM death toll.

In a climate of sedition, stories like that need careful monitoring and handling.
What next from them? Engagement Notices?

The major thing that freaked many of us out about the first Gulf War was that our casualties were less than what we usually had during the same amount of time in normal (i.e. "peacetime") operations. This is, unfortunately, business as usual.

All in country deaths have been counted, but this isn't one of them. It's in Egypt, and the Bright Star exercises have been going on since before the first Gulf War.
