Who believes the official US Military casualty numbers for the War in Iraq?
542103
Of course I believe the numbers.  I am a military spouse and I know how they process casualties.  \n\nBut here are the problems with their count and why it is sometimes different from other numbers in the media: it is a count of deaths, and does not include injuries.  There are no numbers available for the number of injured troops.  It includes only US military personnel and not civilian contractors or Iraqi civilians.  I do not know for certain if the number includes non-combat deaths (accidents, suicides) and deaths later resulting from injury, but that's another potential area for discrepancy.  \n\nThose numbers I have mentioned should be better reported, I agree.  The Pentagon numbers aren't faked, but they don't tell the full story.

Iraqbodycount.org puts the current death rate (for Iraq alone) somewhere between 34,139-38,280.

I heard the total number of Iraqi's who have died since the American occupation is around 100,000. How many have died since the war officially ended I couldn't say.\n\nIt is very naive by the way to believe insurgents are responsible for the majority of these deaths.

That's 2391 too many.  We sent them to die for no good reason.  America should only go to war when it's absolutely necessary, and Iraq was not necessary.

its over 150k civilians since 03 \nbut the big one\nalmost 3000 brave Americans who didnt have to\nBecause of George "I have no regrets" Bush

Hell No !!  I am not satisfied with the number of deaths since the war began. I think of them as people with loved ones, and lives cut off fighting over GOP greed, and need for power. It is a tragedy. Our country has not done justice for it's Veteran's, or their families. This is a senseless war. Every life counts. Bush should sober us his daughters and send them, and Cheney's daughter should strap on an m-16.  If people really support this obscene war...they should send their kids.

Oh yeah, and there are reports of 100,000 civilians & 2500 American troops dead. You forgot that part.

I believe the figure you were given upstairs (2743) is correct. BTW, that does not include the Iraqi casualties, who knows how many. And I see that these Bush supporters upstairs did not answer the question "has ANYTHING been accomplished.....more terrorism". I can answer that. NO.

Thank you!!!!!!! What is the figure again?? One Billion US$/day to be in Iraq.........But that`s not even close to be as troubling as the number of casualties on all sides especially that the whole thing is based on a fool LYING to the world through his teeths!!

I believe the 15 million figure was exploded by Rush, and that was acknowledged by Majors in the House, on television.  Its kind of like the 800.000 man march or the 2 million Jews that have been added to the statistics in the last 50 years.\n\nHave you ever heard of the Trail of Tears? That was about Americans dying.

There is 26 to 30 thousand people murdered in the US every year.I don`t know how many troops died last year in Iraq,but I`m sure It pails in comparison to the war on the streets of America.If I had to guess I would say less than 3% of the total.It seems terribly sad that we talk about these past souls as though they are change on the counter top.The world Is In a tragic state.Good Luck to you!

Hard to say.  Before it was Viet Nam it was French Indo China and the Viet Namese (CONG) were called the Viet Minh after Ho Chi Minh.  Casualty estimates posted above do not include those killed in the Pre-USA invlovement may not include Americans that were there as "advisors", civilians, Cambodians, Laotians, Chinese, and Russians.  The numbers are apalling
835300
Yes. Octobers U.S. death toll was the highest yet. Our troops continue to die in a battle that can't be won. When all the Iraq people are dead, maybe then our troops can come home.

It's not nearly as newsworthy.\n\nBut also, Yahoo! only lists the dead soldiers.  Not the dead civilians.

Just about half the united states has someone in their family or friend in the military.  And im sure everyone in the united states knew someone at one point or another that died during a war.  Sad truth.

No one has been held responsible, and in fact Bush stole another election AFTER this unjust war was started.  We need to educate people and demand a revolution.  With something like 2400 US casualties now, the "collateral" Iraqui dead(women, men and children who are not insurgents, were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. . .this number is, as George Bush put it, "around 30, 000 more or less."\n\nIf you are not outraged, then you are NOT paying attention!!!"
