Clearly the DoD official count was done on purpose from the point of his speech on, and the flying banner they blamed on others!
Pentagon Still Doesn’t Consider Post-’Mission Accomplished’ Iraq Deaths to Be Combat Deaths
The Defense Department’s official tally of U.S. military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan (PDF) lists only 139 Iraq deaths from “combat operations.” The remaining 4,227 U.S. troop deaths are considered the wages of “Post-Combat Ops.” >>>>>
97 percent {now more} of U.S. deaths in Iraq have occurred after George W. Bush declared an end to "major combat."
”Mission Accomplished!”
This is a short read but points out how the previous admin looked at their War especially after his tough guy speech!
And apparently, as it's Military, this hasn't been caught since the changes in the Pentagon with the change of administrations thus some personal.
