american soilders are considered disposable by their government usually from ghetto and poor areas - they are excess population - their aggression best used in fighting and armed forces work - 1000 isnt really that much still less than killed in 9/11 and thats over 2 years

10000 injured - well compared with the 40,000 killed and murdered each year in the USA anyway due to guns and road accidents 1000 really istn that much.

Just something for the anti war types to touch upon in their propaganda - actually given the understaffed nature of the US armed forces ie 300-400,000 would have been much more acceptible deployment - 150k thats a very successful deployment in operational terms for the US armed forces - and the amount of terrorists and forieng fighters waging jihad within iraq is reducing their clout elsewhere.
