    13 casualties this past month (Oct 2008), of which 8 were combat related.



    In case the graphic doesn't work, here's the link to the chart of casualties by month since March 2003: http://www.icasualties.org/oif/USDeathByMonth.aspx

    Indeed.

    There's only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.

    There is an old military term used throughout the ages "acceptable losses"
    Somehow never seems appropriate in todays wars.
