The US Army is to apologise to the families of officers killed or wounded in action who were sent letters urging them to return to active duty.

The letters were sent to more than 5,100 Army officers listed as recently having left the military.

But this figure included about 75 officers killed in action and about 200 wounded in action.

More than 3,000 members of the US military have died in Iraq since the war began.

Casualties have also been suffered in Afghanistan since the US invasion.

"Army personnel officials are contacting those officers' families now to personally apologise for erroneously sending the letters," the army said in a statement.

2. My post and excuse me this is too serious to be funny

But what came to mind when I saw that was --what in the devil are the republicans doing. Is someone there a fan of "Day of the Dead".

3. I guess humor is needed to deal with the extent of the tragedy

There was a Twilight Zone - I think - where those killed in battle were revived and eventually allowed to vote against the blowhard who was running on war in their name...Fits this story perfectly.
