Here's the person charged with Network Defense for the Army: Lt. Gen. Susan S. Lawrence, As the G-6, Lawrence supports the Chief of Staff of the Army and Army Staff in performing information management, network operations (including computer network defense), force structure, and the equipping and employment of signal forces. Hardly a "18 or so layers of management between the top man (and it is always a man)". Although only 5% of the general officers in the Army are women, it's hardly the sausage fest the author of this article believes it to be. I wonder if the writer of the article is aware of the gender and racial makeup of our dead and wounded? Got a complaint about that? Twat.

Are you talking about our (US) casualties or the deaths of A-Stan/Iraqi people? You can get those pretty much any time you want. Hers a few I found with a quick Google searhc: http://www.antiwar.com/casualties/ http://icasualties.org/Iraq/index.aspx http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
