Posted on Defense and the National Interest are August 2007 Coalition/NATO Dead In Iraq and Afghanistan, over 120.

Over the last 12 months alone that brings the figure to 1,396.

I will make a point of trying to keep this updated. Many may debate the reasons why they are out there, but that does not change anything. These men & women are still out there doing their duty. Though they are suffering more then ever.

Many have commented that this could drag on for another half century. Happy coincidence then that the oil reserves will be pretty low by then in the Middle East…sorry, I keep forgetting, it is NOT about the oil.
