-19 is the official count in the Somalian effort. Matt Rierson a delta operator was killed outside the hangar by a mortar one day after the battle of mog.

-250 something died in the Gulf war.

Thanks You Millah......I was fairly close.

As for 250, I think the current war has a chance of getting up that high. You just wait for the assault on baghdad. If the Republican Guard don't pee their pants and run away, it could add up.
