I see the Brits have their own people lying by using statistic. The key phrase to note here is :

if the death rate there continues as it has in the past month.

Not an analysis based on the past 4 years, oh no, just manufactured hysteria based on a carefully selected blip in the data line. Just another waste of ink from the Politically Corrupted media.

"Three battalions have recently been disbanded and cuts mean that you have a smaller pool of men to send to do these very difficult tours."

Sounds like the anti-war peace monkeys in Britain are doing an effective job in getting the government to scale back troop numbers to the point the remaining ones are getting slaughtered.

The Left's traitorous law of intended consequences.

This is what the Dims/liberals/Left wants for our military after the September Iraq surge report. You can bet your life on it......and you may be doing just that.

They’re all upset about a one percent loss in 6 months?Some units in the second world war suffered more than 50 percent losses in 6 months and held together.

I believe 1 in 4 died during the U.S. civil war. Of course, antibiotics had not yet been discovered.
