I'm a soldier who lost a leg in Iraq.
I came back home in darkness with so many bandages without anybody noticing us.
I have made a vow to myself to reveal the lies of those who stole my life.
Here is the truth they are trying to conceal from you
As casualties mount in Iraq, so has the monetary cost of the war. The military is now spending more than $5.8 billion each month, top officials told Congress this week.
..
The Army, with about 110,000 soldiers on the ground in Iraq, has a monthly "burn rate" of $4.7 billion.
The Air Force is spending about $800 million monthly.
The Marines, which are spearheading the fighting in Fallujah, had an average monthly war cost of $300 million
The US government uses lots of methods to reduce the number of victims:
Only American soldiers are counted into the statistics, and even in this category they don't give the exact numbers
And what if we knew that the US government gave thousands of non-Americans promises of a citizenship if they fight in Iraq
and what if we knew that The US government uses thousands of American, British, and other bounty killers who work for the "special security companies" for high salaries and the US government isn't responsible for their safety
Number of killed soldiers till now: 9,500
Number of wounded soldiers till now: 24,000
Number of deserters: 8,000
