	'Casualties of War' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		But "Casualties of War," the director's rigorous, unflinching, masterly new film, is something else altogether.
		"Casualties of War" is the kind of culminating work that brings the rest of an artist's career into razor-sharp focus.
		"Casualties of War" is rated R and contains violence, strong language and sexually explicit material.

	Encyclopedia: Casualties of War (movie)
		Casualties of War is a 1989 war movie about the Vietnam War, starring Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn.
		The Vietnam War was a war fought roughly from 1957 to 1975 after the North Vietnamese government secretly agreed to begin involvement in South Vietnam.
		The film is about how normal moral behavior is discarded during war times and shows it in the extreme when soldiers become savages who can dehumanize innocent by-standers.

	Commentary: Iraq war casualties rise
		Nearly eight months after the war began, the battlefield is yielding killed-in-action rates more similar to the 20-year Vietnam War, where 81 percent of the 58,000 deaths were at the hands of an enemy, than to the Persian Gulf War.
		The Afghan war is at roughly a five to one ratio, and the Iraq war is now about six to one.
		The causes of non-hostile deaths in both the Iraq war and the Afghan war follow patterns similar to one another, with tiny fractions attributed to homicide and illness, and slightly higher numbers attributable to suicide.

	CASUALTIES OF WAR
		While this move did not constitute a violation of international law, as Congo is in a state of war, the transfer of powers and other measures taken by the government since the beginning of the war made it clear that any credible transition to democracy was at least temporarily stalled.
		As was the case before the war, policemen and soldiers conducted unprovoked raids on the headquarters of political parties.
		Few took on the ‘sensitive’ issues generated by the war, particularly ethnic persecution, due to a fear of association with the RCD and its allies and a general sense of nationalism.

	Civilian Victims of United States' Aerial Bombing of Afghanistan
		A legacy of the ten years of civil war during the 80s is that many military garrisons and facilities are located in urban areas where the Soviet-backed government had placed them since they could be better protected there from attacks by the rural mujahideen.
		Yet another, wails about too much press coverage of civilian casualties by a media unable to understand that some civilian casualties must occur but that "what IS newsworthy is that so many bombs hit their targets".
		Secondly, this war does little to impede the cycle of violence of which the WTC attacks are merely one manifestation.

	Casualties of war: Olmert's West Bank withdrawal plan is dead, and his own future is in doubt - US News and World Report
		Among the casualties is Israel's latest political path, which Sharon opened with the Gaza disengagement and Olmert hoped to complete with his "consolidation plan" for the West Bank.
		It went bad first in Gaza, where fierce fighting was overshadowed by the war in the north, then went worse on the Lebanese border, whose relative quiet during the six years since the Israeli pullout had served as a model for this latest road to peace, or at least peace and quiet.
		Lev, 36, an attorney, sat out the war with her three children in her parents' house further south, while her husband, Yaron, was called to reserve duty, though not-"thank God," she said-in Lebanon.

	Casualties of war - Salon
		During World War II, a war regarded by all of its combatants as one of national survival, an entire enemy nation, soldiers and civilians alike, was regarded as a legitimate target.
		Large numbers of civilian casualties, or individual horrors like Dresden or the firebombing of Tokyo, were seen as regrettable, but they did not cause participants or historians to alter their assessment of the moral status of the parties involved.
		Moral purists might argue that Iraqi military casualties, too, should be kept as low as possible; but once hostilities commence, the uniformed personnel of an enemy army, no matter how unwilling they are to fight or tyrannical their leader, are generally considered legitimate targets.

		The latter category consists of five subcategories: deaths from direct war effects to 1) the military and 2) civilians, deaths from postwar violence to 3) the military and 4) civilians, and 5) postwar deaths from health effects caused by destruction to a country's infrastructure.
		Another criticism may be that the schedule of age-specific mortality rates from a model life table may not apply to a post war population, i.e., age and sex patterns of mortality prevalent in populations under ordinary circumstances may not prevail in postwar populations.
		Arkin's midpoint estimate of 56,000 military deaths during the war was accepted under the assumption that they had the same age and sex (all male) distribution as the Iraqi military before the war.

		Casualties of War, despites some of its flaws, is quite faithful to the original text which was a true story.

		Casualties of War stars Michael J. Fox in one of his first "serious" roles as an actor, along with Sean Penn who is great in the film.

	US will provide no estimate of Iraqi war casualties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Casualties throughout Iraq were so high, according to the International Red Cross, that many hospitals—already overstretched as a result of bombing, looting and a lack of electricity, medicine and clean water—were too busy to keep track of the dead and wounded.
		Despite their efforts to portray the aim of the war as the “liberation” of the Iraqi people, US officials have said they will not quantify the number of dead and injured civilians, nor assess the property damage done to the civilian infrastructure.
		In a bid to shore up the increasingly threadbare pretense that the war was fought on behalf of ordinary Iraqis, the US Congress inserted a measure into the recent $78.5 billion emergency spending bill for the war to provide token assistance to the families of “innocent” civilians killed or injured by US forces.

		After I had just started to translate the casualties into miles, I decided I couldn't use a world map because the key was too small and there weren't so many six foot casualties that they would stretch to the other side of the world.
		First of all, I converted the 183,148 casualties for the Union and the 122,482 casualities for the Confederate into mileage by taking the number of casualties and multiplying them by 6 (pretending they were each 6 feet tall).

		While America is considered to be the most militarily powerful country in the world today, Americans as a whole have never experienced war in the way that many other countries of the world have.
		The information is useful for reference material, but it is also useful for gaining an understanding of the human cost of war, and the cost of war for Americans compared to the rest of the world, which may be helpful in understanding cultural attitudes about war.
		The total number of Americans killed in action from all major wars combined, the ten listed below, is 2,757,196, which, while a disheartening number, is about the same as the number of Vietnamese that died in the Vietnam War alone.

		Some of the great blood baths of the war came as Grant drove on Richmond in the spring of 1864- Confederate casualties are missing for this campaign, but were enormous.
		Many terrible casualty tolls were incurred in single engagements, like that of the Polish Regiment of Louisiana at Frayser's Farm during the Seven Days, where the outfit was cut to pieces and had to be consolidated with the 20th Louisiana.

		The carnage and confusion of war are seen through the eyes of lowly recruits.
