Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
The Pentagon is underreporting the number of American soldier casualties in Iraq, say House Democrats.
  • How many others?

    From the beginning the Pentagon said that the official death count only included soldiers who are dead on the ground in Iraq. I cant find anyone who has researched how many other soldiers died an hour later, on the plane to Ramstad or back at Walter Reed medical center. That would give us something closer to the true death count. This seems like a perfect thing for Salon to pursue.
