Perhaps Blackwater or Halliburton will get a bigger takehome if they don''t have to pay for this soldier''s death.

That fits perfectly with the "morals" of the Bushits and the U.S. Fascist Party.

It''s not uncommon for our government to under report casualties, for the same reason they don''t keep track of Iraqi deaths. Why make it look worse than it already is.

An illegal war, ill thought out attack on a disliked nation going after Bin Laden that has always been hiding in Pakistan.

Our government needs to wake up and count the soldiers that gave their lives for Bush, oil and profits and stop lying to cover up your war crimes.

I am sorry for this families pain ..

However, if this soldier was in the US 6 months after the initial injury and passed away, then I guess technically he would not be considered as such ..

I feel he was and see the mothers point .. but we all know how the beauracacy works .. they love tehcnical reasoning and use it to their advantage whenever possible ...

Shameful & Sad but thats where we are ...
