OTOH, soldier deaths are useful (to the extent that deaths can be useful...) primarily as a proxy for how things are going in general. So it does not really matter whether they lie a bit about the real numbers, as long as they've been lying in the same way since the war started.

The absolute values of coalition fatality figures from Vietraq are suspect anyway due to the fairly widespread employment of mercenary militias by the Coalition, as their numbers do not count towards casualties when they get killed.
