Question about Soldier Deaths in Iraq
Filed Under current affairs
It seems that whenever I read articles about soldiers dying in Iraq, they have always died fairly immediately after the deadly incident. I have never heard any reports of soldiers dying after suffering from injuries for a while. Am I uninformed about military protocol? For example, is there a delay in the reports from Iraq? Do soldiers lie in hospitals for weeks and only after they have passed, are we told that they were killed when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb? I’m puzzled as to why I’ve yet to see things explained in that way.
