Sample Problem:
The supply convoy you are in turns a corner and the third vehicle is hit with an RPG from the sandwich shop 2 houses from the corner on the right. The driver is killed instantly and his backup is blown out of the vehicle and impaled on a broken off road sign but survives. The 4th vehicle smashes into the third vehicle, throwing the 2 drivers onto the broken up pavement, tearing the left arm off one and breaking the back of the second who is subsequently killed by an AK burst that hits her in the stomach and the face. The second vehicle turns sharply left and sustains no hits. The lead vehicle triggers a roadside device, dissolving both drivers. In the melee, the 5th vehicle smashes into the 4th vehicle, breaking both women's backs, and tearing the hand off an off duty third soldier. A rapid response team in the area kills their interpreter, and 17 terrorists in the houses and shops on the street.. Question: You are tasked with doing the after action using the authorized definitions. How many US combat dead and wounded should be added to the Bush stats on the War? (Solution: 4 Combat Deaths 1 Combat Injury Here is the Analysis 1st (lead) vehicle= 2 combat deaths 2nd vehicle = No deaths or injuries 3rd vehicle = 1 combat death, 1 combat wounded 4th vehicle = 1 combat death, 1 traffic accident injury 5th vehicle = 3 traffic accident injured soldiers Source: Counting methodology from J.

(Although I bet that absurdity is ignored often in the hospitals in Germany where they hide many of the wounded.) Only scamming supply sergeants, and govt contractors get their choice of medals. Seriously, Stieglitz rehash of the numbers using old fashioned Democrat math indicates that the Bush/Cheney combat injury figures are half right, and didn't Bush say that Cheney was a "glass half full" kind of guy? |

You've been to the Head Sergeant Colonel Louie LaPlac school of military honors I see. ;-) Seriously, Stieglitz rehash of the numbers using old fashioned Democrat math indicates that the Bush/Cheney combat injury figures are half right, and didn't Bush say that Cheney was a "glass half full" kind of guy? It's interesting that our men and women in uniform have donated more money to the Democrat Obama than to the Republican McCain. They must be doing some of that same Democrat math you're doing. -- Ken Fortenberry |
