WAR TAKES A TOLL

American lives lost

5 years later: U.S. deaths in Iraq near 4,000 | Names mean more than numbers

When the 1,000th American soldier died in September 2004, the insurgency was just gaining steam. The 2,000th death came as Iraq held its first elections in decades, in October 2005.
The U.S. announced its 3,000th loss on the last day of 2006, at the end of a year rocked by sectarian violence.

The 4,000th death comes with the war further out of the public eye, and replaced by other topics on the front burner of the U.S. presidential campaigns.

The number killed in Iraq is far less than in other modern American wars. In Vietnam, the U.S. lost on average about 4,850 troops a year from 1963-75. In the Korean war, from 1950-53, the U.S. lost about 12,300 soldiers a year.
^^^^ We now know what number we need to break to break the Viet Nam record, around 54,000.
