I don't think this is the kind of thing I want to make a game out of.

I think we have already suppassed the 3000 mark.

The Bush government has ben very good at misleading figures.

Like the 2000+ figure is how many US Troops have died ->IN<- Iraq. It does not inculde the troops who die in German hospitals, Afganistan, or any ground in Iraq considered US soil (embassey, airport, and a highway strip used for air lifting on the east side of the city).

I agree, there's no way for us to know the truth. Not unless all of the families can get together and somehow "compare notes" will we ever know. That's highly unlikely to happen.  The Bush misadministration won't let anyone "unauthorized" onto Dover AFB to see how many caskets come back. Where else might they land? How would we know? All of the information is compartmentalized and on a "need to know" basis.  There are accounts as high as 9,000 dead. 

9000 Dead GIs In Iraq?
...
U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the newly reduced ones.

U.S. military planes land in other countries every day and we don't know if "prisoners" are on board being transported to other countries for torture or who the hell is on board, dead or alive.  It's a secret. 

We don't know. They don't want us to know.

U.S. and coalition authorities provide no public estimates of Afghan or Iraqi troop or civilian casualties or injuries. In this absence of official data, we present the latest credible estimates we've found. Where a range is estimated (for example, 2,500-4,000), the lower figure is always cited.

Our wounded...there's a tale not told. http://www.thememoryhole.org/war/wounded/

How many civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan have been killed? We don't know. How many Syrians? We don't know. Iranians? Pakistanis? We don't know. 

We don't even know how many people died in New Orleans.  We are lied to each and every day.  We don't know much. Our "news" is filtered and spun.  Those of us who want to know can't find out.  Seemingly nobody knows. We're in the blind.

The 3,000 mark? It's a valid question but a better one might be, "When will we find out the truth?" If ever.
