Topic: general sg1/sga question

[Don Karnage]

i was wondering something in sg1 and atlantis, what lye do the tell to the familly of all the soldier who die in battle?

the amount of death is big so i was wondring what they tell?, there no war or offical conflict like we have today so its a good question

I would guess it might go one of two ways. the first is training accidents. They happen all the time and for those military personnel in dangerous occupations, deaths do happen. Another option has to do with your assumption that there isn't conflicts going on on earth during the run of the show. That is never really talked about much. I seem to recall one instance where they talk about terrorism or something but I can't place it at the moment.

As for the individual soldiers...well there are terrorists and conflicts and training accidents and yada yada yada. 

Now, when Anubis destroyed a carrier battle group, I believe they told the people of Earth that a meteor fell out of the sky and obliterated the battle group (I kid you not).  One of my favorite funny episodes was when General Hammond and the Russian General had to explain to the United Kingdom, France, and Republic of China that Earth has been engaged in interstellar war for the past several years. 

Thor's verbal kicking of Kinsey's ass in that epsiode had me on the floor clutching my stomach.
