Casualties of American Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan

In Iraq alone, the U.S. confirmed deaths tally is almost not imaginable. 4295 American troops dead. Putting American soldiers in harms way like this is one of the biggest American tragedies of modern time. It was difficult enough to see so many American citizens loose their lives on 9/11, but now we see a number that will most certainly top 5,000 troops dead in Iraq alone. This data contains no information from Afghanistan. In that country, there are 683 dead American soldiers. The grand total of Americans dead in Iraq and Afghanistan is now 4,978.
