According to The Department of Veterans Affairs, as of May 2007, reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:
Total U.S. Military Gulf War Deaths: 73,846
In the Iraq War, the Bush administration lied about military deaths since the war began -- and continues to this very day. They report the war deaths in Iraq only if the soldier died with his boots on the ground in a combat situation.
Under the new reporting system, deaths that happen en route or post evacuation are not counted as combat deaths. This is why the number seems unusually low -- a little over four thousand as of 2009.
The actual figures have been hidden from the American public just like the returning, flag draped coffins were censored from the press.
According to The Department of Veterans Affairs, as of May 2007, reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999
The stastics for non-lethal injuries are likewise staggering:
Total "Undiagnosed Illness" (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995
Percentage of combat troops that filed Disability Claims 36%
Over 1,820 tons of radioactive depleted uranium were exploded in Iraq in the form of armor piercing rounds and bunker busters while 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb. The Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than 14,000 Hiroshima's. This is the worst man made ecological disaster ever.
The nuclear waste will continue killing for thousands of years! And these radioactive dust will continue to blow around worldwide, scientists calculate that there is enough radioactive material in Iraq to wipe out a third of the world's population.
While in Iraq, birth defects among newborns are up 600% from before the war. The defects are typical of the kind produced by exposure to radioactive material.
