Sooner or later, the families are going to start wondering why they haven't heard from their loved ones, and are going to start asking questions..The sad thing is, those GI's who don't have any family anywhere, will end up lost. I wish they'd tell the number and the names of the GI's, wounded and dead...remember the other wars showed the caskets coming off the planes...Seems they're keeping this hush..

So you're accusing the government of lying to the public and even to the families of service men.

What do you think they are doing, dumping our men in a ditch?

Read this story, the wounded Marine got the best care available. The Marines flew his family to the hospital in Spain. Families are not being kept in the dark. This isn't Russia, soldiers don't just disappear.

Every fatality is being released, it is just the number of wounded troops that the media has to specifically request info on.

The names of the dead do get posted after the families have been notified. Even those without "family" before they left had to list someone as their point of contact should something happen, nobody falls between the cracks.
As for the wounded that another story, depends on the severity of the wounds whether the family gets notified or not. I did not learn for over a week that my son had been injured and then it was a call from him, not the Army or Red Cross to tell me what had happened

You can check here for the the names

I don't think that its possible that we would not hear about casualties - wounded or deaths. Between emails, satellite phones and letters we hear from our loved ones quite often.
