You need to mix in all the circumstances involved in that unique war not what year it is when saying what's a right death toll and what isn't.

When you look at how most of these American soldiers are killed, it's usually in a vulnerable vehicle catching shrapnel or one getting totally blown to bits. A mortar round lobbed into a barracks,etc. A lot of people can usually fit in certain vehicles/barracks, so that's a lot of bodies. A war involving an insurgency is much different than any convential war.

By the way, how many of the civilians were killed by insurgents?
