Question: Iraq Causalties

Post by **_Sam Harris** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 10:13 pm

A co-worker of mine has a brother in Iraq, and she hasn't heard from him in a month. She's worried that he's dead. When there's a casualty, how long does it take for the military to notify the family? Anyone know?

I'm familiar with someone whose job is to facilitate these unpleasant notices. From his accounts, families are notified within a day or two of a verified casualty.

Thank you! I really appreciate that.
