A list we haven't seen is the list of private contractors hired by Halliburton, Kellog Brown and Root, CACI, TITON and the rest. These are civilians from the USA and other countries working in Iraq, driving trucks, feeding troops, building bases etc...we have no idea how many of these people have died in this war.

What a load of crap. Please. Leave those whacked out and unfounded figures in the proper forum and do not attempt to pass them off as fact in this one.

To the powers that be... if you want nothing but RIP posts here, then junk such as this must not be allowed to stand...as it is not factual and is offensive and has nothing to do with our soldiers who need to RIP.

Otherwise this will fill up with all sorts of convoluted figures, and this, as already noted, is not the thread for it.

Meridious, this isn't a thread for your commentary. Please read the first page and give the thread your respect. You can help me post the memorial posts if you want to contribute. I'm having a hard time keeping up.

Here is the most recent soldier who gave his life for us.

August 29, 2006 The 21-year-old Hebron, Ky., resident, Christopher T Warndorf, died Tuesday in Iraq's Al Anbar Province. RIP Christopher.

Christ. He's just a baby
