Total US military casualties in Iraq (dead and wounded): 11,148
The more tired we all become of hearing these statistics, the more important it becomes to keep current on them, for if we tune out the cost of war, we won't notice the point where the benefits outweigh those costs.
I was a little surprised to find out that 45.4% of US fatalities are from "blue states," and 52.7% are from "red states." The other 1.9% are from US territories or protectorates, which don't get to be classified as red or blue.
All the numbers come from this website,. which crunches the numbers from the Department of Defense and presents them in nicely readable charts and graphs.
