I've heard conspiracy theories that the number of American soldiers dying in Iraq has been grossly underreported by the American government - by up to an order of magnitude. While I don't believe this, I am unsure how to actually counter this.
I heard a conspiracy theory that the government may have intentionally lied to get us into Iraq...
but that's all that is...conspiracy theories.
We need to have more faith in our government.
Your government. Since I am no U.S. citizen, I am not required to claim any faith in Bush to show my patriotism. In fact, since I am German, I am not required to show any patriotism at all.
I don't know who counts it but I'm sure all the families of dead soldiers notice when their son/brother/sister/daughter/father/etc. is not added to the death toll. So I guess they keep track.
How do you suppose? They know THEIR son is dead, and possibly their neighbors, or at best a small towns number. Do they know the entire nations? Extremely doubtful as there is really no way of finding out except from the government.
I'm thinking there's no 3rd party counting the dead bodies.
I suppose if someone wanted to, they could go count the graves. That'd probably be the best (and about as accurate as you're gonna get) option.
No not like "We are the families and I know the families of every dead person is Iraq and the numbers aren't adding up."
I mean like "Wow my son is dead yet the death toll counter hasn't moved up, there's a problem now"
