A U.S. Air Force sergeant on active duty in the northern Arabian peninsula became the first American fatality of the war when he was killed in an accident.

First? Hardly- we have over 5,600 casualties already, and before that those killed in the Khobar Towers, embassies, and USS Cole, etc . We're just now getting around to responding to those initial attacks. The war didn't begin with us retaliating. It began with terrorist acts.

Don't forget to count those Army Rangers who died in Somalia. And didn't we take casualties savings Islamic tail in Bosnia and Kosovo? Or am I just confused by the "fog of war?"
