I know of many different sources for estimates on this question. Primarily I am asking this question in hopes of raising some awareness to the truth about the horrors going on in Iraq.
BTW it is well documented that Iraqi deaths went way up after the invasion, not down. Recently they have come back down to the same levels as they were under Saddam, but the deaths continue to ravage the nation.

Mario C asked:


My unit returned from Iraq last year in September. How long is it until they can be deployed again? Is their some sort of wait period after a tour where a unit can not be called back to duty? For example, they come back for a tour and cant be deployed for another year…or can they still be deployed even months after they’ve returned?

MIKE YANTREE asked:


Iraq is dangerous, but so is training. Every life is valuable and to be honored. Are there stats comparing non-combat zone fatalities to war fatalities? In other words, are there some that would die on the highways of America and yet instead survive because they are not in America but in the dangerous areas of Iraq?
People die in car accidents, in the US training, etc. ….
Some questions appear to not make sense on the surface, but the digging deeper increases their potential for adding knowledge.
Sometimes the facts are counterintuitive. Thanks for the info.

I’ve been wondering what would be the best way to get a job as a photojournalist in Iraq or Afghanistan. I am a photographer with decent writing skills and am ex-military. I can do the job well, I just need to find the quickest way to get there.

I’m sending a package to a friend of mine who is currently stationed in Iraq. Can anyone tell me what the fastest way of sending it would be, and about how much shipping costs? (If weight is a big factor, it would be apprx 12lbs). Thanks!

How can one diplomatically withdraw from Iraq without the government collapsing by their popular beliefs? And do we really want to insure our particular political system in Iraq after all?
