"A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred."

I think the saddest thing to note is that Iraqi internal fighting is where most the death comes from. An American dieing in Iraq is rare at best.
We see on the news our guys dieing almost at least 1 a day thats true...
However accross Iraq on average there are more than 100 Violent death's unrelated to American Military Action.
However the Average American assault on insergents averages over 27 Confirmed Kills as a result of an American Assault on Iraqi Insurgent compounds.
Also a new world record has been set by an American Sniper with a confirmed kill over 3/4 a mile away.
