Casualty vs fatality

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

People need to know the difference…I see people (including Congressmen) saying that Americans have died because they don’t know the difference.

1. Fatalities are casualties but

Not all casualties are fatalities

4. But Banks is the "top 10% euchre player in the world"

7. I was pointing out an example of someone not knowing the difference

Which I saw on CNN’s website. And it wasn’t meant to actually click on the link, but just to show his ignorance.

5. The ghouls have been waiting for tragedy.

It's their life's blood.

So to speak.

6. It's a good day for

Jim Banks and his traitor tot cohorts.

8. Now cost live? Just wait until someone shows him how many died in the 20 year war!

Wait suddenly they give a shit about people dying in Afghanistan. Does he think before today it was 20 years of magic unicorns and reach arounds?

9. But the thing is

It hasn’t cost an American life based on reports so far…when the media and military say casualty it doesn’t necessarily mean death.
