Deaths in American Wars

The latest death toll of American troops in Iraq (as of June 12, 2005), was 1,701. That is a very tiny number in comparison with the total deaths from the Civil War (633,000), WWII (407,000), WWI (117,000) or even the Vietnam (58,000) and Korean (33,500) wars. But though the small number of deaths in the American war on Iraq pales in comparison to the Civil War and others, it should be noted that many deaths were expected in the Civil War, and the Iraq war was not a war which the U.S. Government expected to see many deaths at all. In fact, most of the fatalities in Iraq occurred after the President of the United States, in May, 2003, flew onto the landing strip of an aircraft carrier, and under a huge sign reading, "Mission Accomplished," declared major hostilities over with. The "new war" in Iraq that is going on now was clearly not expected, and is a hard war for American troops to fight, because it is perpetrated in the main by insurgent extremist Islamic suicide fighters; they drive up to Americans in innocent-looking vehicles with powerful bombs ready to go off and take lives by pushing a button.
