Pay no attention to the recommended diary which purports that the military is not counting those who die in Germany or in the US of injuries sustained in Iraq as among the official Iraq War Dead.
Here's a couple media reports of some of our fallen soldiers: Link
May 10, 2005
* 1st Sgt. Michael J. Bordelon, 37, of Morgan City, La., died at Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, from injuries sustained April 23 in Mosul, Iraq, when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near his Stryker military vehicle.
April 9, 2005
* Pfc. Casey M. LaWare, 19, of Redding, Calif., died April 9 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany, from non-combat related injuries sustained April 6 in Al Mahmudiyah, Iraq.
Then go to the CNN website which maintains a database of all of the Iraq war dead. Link
Both Bordelon and LaWare, rest in peace, are listed
I challenge anyone to find a news release of any soldier who died of injuries sustained in Iraq who is not officially counted among those killed in Bush's folly.

Update [2005-5-19 0:38:5 by DaveOinSF]: For posterity's sake, here's a link to the original diary which generated hundreds of recommendations to which this diary was written as a rebuttal.
