    What's that hiding.

  • I don't know.

    I dwelled on that briefly, but couldn't come up with a clean answer.

    Non-vehicle accidents? Illness? Friendly fire? Accidental discharge?

    Even dividing that into quarters, that would be a pretty high number for any of those.

    So, I don't know. The article it was tied to is almost exclusively about IED's.

  • Later from Time magazine:

    "
    According to military statistics, enemy fighters killed 2,320 of the troops who lost their lives in Iraq through December 2. The rest are attributed primarily to accidents (374) and illness (56). Homicide accounted for 12 non-combat deaths, while 93 were suicides.
