Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq include those that were killed by accidents? I remember a newscast stating "another soldier was killed in Iraq. He was pinned between two military trucks as they were parking". It is hard to tell if we are losing soldiers to "hostile environments" or the normal accidental deaths you would have with a population the size of our troop numbers. And I do not belittle any death of American soldiers.
