If you've followed Iraq- "Bush's Folly" like I have- you find deaths from war causes are surprisingly categorized.
Being there for The Follies and getting killed does not necessarily mean you'd be counted as war dead- as discovered by the parents of James McDonald of Wisconsin.
Young McDonald died of head injuries after an Iraqi bomb blast- but the U.S. military lists his death as "undetermined" cause- according to this Associated Press story.
I did then and more so now thought the leaders who PUT us in Iraq were brain-dead- but I guess I should reclassify my theory to "undetermined" lack of brain cells used to kill 4000+ Americans in this ON-GOING (forever) nation-building and so-wrong exercise in world futility/stupidity from the Shrub Administration....
