We may never know the whole truth about this & many other aspects of this war, and this is unfortunate. The pentagon poop sheet for the reporters tells us what they want us--the people--to know. The generals & leaders at the top speak of "collateral damage," perhaps as real estate. timothy mcveigh also spoke of collateral damage, but as human lives---that which was necessary to further his cause. Many of the US & UN troops have most assuredly been listed in that category. I see the ones who made it out alive, from what ever where ever hell they were sent to, all the time when I take my father to & from the local VA Medical Center.   "collateral damage" or the injured, MIA, KIA, casualties of war, mysterious illnesses seen in veterans, VietNam vets in the streets. It won't stop as long as politicians keep "taking us" to war as they sit in their posh offices & homes provided at the taxpayers' expense. Oh, yeah. The war at our expense, too.
