So much for a minor war.......the American deaths and casualties are really starting to mount up!

Any deaths are of course bad but 52 deaths caused by enemy fire and 112 total deaths are low for any significant military operation. We probably lost more than that each hour on D-Day, or each weak during a large chunk of time when we were in Vietnam.

Military observers say it is unusual, even in a "low-intensity" guerrilla war such as the situation seen in Iraq, for non-combat deaths to outnumber combat casualties.

Because usually combat deaths are much higher.
