Once again I am seeing eyewitness reports claiming more U.S. Casualties. Yet I don't see simular reports in the U.S. Press confirming or denying these claims. The dogs bark but the caravan moves on. In the US, unlike most other countries, there is still sufficient freedom of speech that soldiers cannot go missing without it becoming widely known. The US army does underreport wounded, and minimize the severity of wounds, but dead is dead.
Of course, sometimes soldiers who die in a place they weren't supposed to be come up missing in "training accidents" somewhere else. -- "Remember, half-measures can be very effective if all you deal with are half-wits."--Chris Klein
