I don't think it's symbolic, more of a testiment to the other death rates, be they from crime, health etc. As for the loss of life in persuing goals?
Well it depends on the goals, if it's to stop the nazi's a large figure is understandable. If there's quite a lot of speculation as to the validity of a war, and/or it's merrits, then 1000 might be high. I think the US seems more or less split 50/50 on the current campaign in terms of support so perhaps that's an issue.
