Even though it says 'casualty' in the URL, it states clearly on the bottom of the page that these figures are for the dead only. |
true, the definition of casualty may be misinterpreted, however, I hold to my original statement.... The news mentions the number of dead, but never once have I heard numbers pretaining to the real definition of a casualty. Maybe the common person may not know the difference between the two, but I would hope that our news agencies would know better. You must agree, 10,000 casualties(kia, mia, injured, sick, etc.) sounds a lot worse than 2,000 deaths.
