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.
  • Jump before you die, GI!

    Chalk me up as another person who remembers hearing (somewhere) that critically wounded soldiers in Iraq were being bustled into planes as quickly as possible, so that if the plane was off the ground before they died the death "didn't count".

    Which leads me to the macabre thought in my subject.

    In any case, I'd very much like to see more reporting on this subject.
