Gulf War Casualties

I was concerned that the 50 Q&A'a posted below had inaccurate facts in several places. The one easiest to check is on casualties.

The United States suffered 148 killed in action, 458 wounded, 121 killed in nonhostile actions and 11 female combat deaths

That is more than 0.

In June 1991 the U.S. estimated that more than 100,000 Iraqi soldiers died, 300,000 were wounded, 150,000 deserted, and 60,000 were taken prisoner. Many human rights groups claimed a much higher numbers of Iraqi killed in action.
