can anyone confirm these figures?
According to The Department of Veterans Affairs, as of May 2007, reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:
Total U.S. Military Gulf War Deaths: 73,846
Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999

No these figures are grossly inaccurate and the sites presenting them are unknown sources. I’ve tracked the war from it’s start and started recording the casualties from the 3rd year and if there were tens of thousands of additional deaths many of them would have come out in articles in local papers we would have picked up upon. As it is I have only a handful of DoD unconfirmed people who have been reported as war deaths. Personally I discredit this.

This info came from a government document published by the Dept. of Defense. It was on their own DOD website & is titled 'Department of Veterans Affairs
Gulf War Veterans Information System
May 2007 Release Date: June 30, 2007', & a pdf is still available on several sites. It was real, it was on VA's website. 73,846 dead as of 2007.
Data Sources were listed that included ALL government sources. The info can be found on page 8 of the doc, which is 27 pages long.
On the vba dot va dot gov archives website one can still see this report if one doubts non-government sources...Government statistics which have repeatedly been caught in bare-faced lies, exposed time and time again, but feel free to believe whomever. The doc explicitly says the report is for Gulf War veterans ONLY. They can deny it all they want.
