And casualties would include injuries like spraining your ankle jumping out of the troop carrier, etc.? Anything that's treated gets counted as a casualty.
McCaffrey is a partisan democrat who is as disingenuous a war commentator as he was drug czar. I don't believe anything he says.

Yes.
Cities tend to cause lots of casualties--semi-soft bodies falling on hard concrete will do that.

motexva,
Well, anything that takes you out of your unit for a period of time; anything where you're treated by a medic but you are back in combat an hour later isn't really counted as a casualty.

Reading the posts in this and other threads about the coming battle for Baghdad all I can picture in my mind is that black monument in Washington with 58,000 names on it. What a waste!
I sure hope we have a good plan, and haven't under estimated the Iraqi's will to defend Baghdad, which I think they will do "any way they can". What have they got to lose?

McCaffrey is a partisan democratThat says it all. He's paving the way for Hillary's second-guessing.
And he was a lousey drug czar.
