At least 17 U.S. troops have committed suicide in Iraq

I'll accept that. Except, wouldn't a military planner get confused? How do they differentiate the two? Hand signals? I mean when are troops just a troop, instead of an actual troop? According to dictionary dot come the boy scouts use the word to describe a group of five or more scouts. Should I be concerned that our Boy Scouts are more specific then our military? Also, this puts a new spin on the various accounts I've read about Vietnam describing entire troops being demolished. Maybe they meant the entirety of one troop, describing the death of an individual soldier? Worse yet, this is going to put a new spin on "hang in there little trooper" pep talks. I give a lot of pep talks. Anyway, I'll get used to it. Keep on Truck.
