A tragic cost.

"To date, 406 U.S. soldiers have been killed in hostile action during the war in Iraq, almost three-quarters of them since President George W. Bush declared the end of major combat operations on May 1.

Hostilities since that date have wounded 1,484 soldiers severely enough that they couldn't be returned to duty within three days, according to Pentagon tallies. That toll of wounded is more than triple the number of soldiers hurt in the invasion operations through April 2003."
