The death of a Texas soldier, announced Sunday by the Pentagon, raised the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq to at least 3,000 since the war began, according to an Associated Press count. The grim milestone was crossed on the final day of 2006 and at the end of the deadliest month for the American military in Iraq in the past 12 months. At least 111 U.S. service members were reported to have died in December. Spc. Dustin R. Donica, 22, of Spring, Texas, was killed Thursday by small arms fire in Baghdad, the Defense Department said. Donica was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division. His death was not announced by U.S. military authorities in Baghdad. At least 820 U.S. military personnel died in Iraq in 2006, according to the AP count. Copyright 2006 Associated Press.

No unfortunately the Mercs ...or contractors... are being paid 4 times as much to guard the crates of Coca Cola and the Iraqi politicos.
These are marines and army folk.

This war and any subsequent wars against the Saracen should involve minimal ground troops and more air delivered ordinance. In fact the war machine manufacturing sector ought to get to work right now on the number of bombs and missiles that will be necessary for the task.

Wanna bet Elaborator is celebrating the 3,000 dead alongside his buddies at DemocraticUnderground.com?
