they actually report the number killed in iraq, only. the wounded who are evac'd to germany (or elsewhere) and then die there aren't listed as official iraq casualties. but anyway, it isn't what Redleg was referring to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, it has been a long time since I heard that and I might not remember it correctly.

EDIT: Guess it at least wasn't the one you were looking for....
