I think this needs to be put into perspective.

Over 10 years the average troop level in Iraq was I think between 170,000 and 200,000. Just going by what I read.

They took what about 4500 casualties. In terms of actual battle costs thats very light.

In terms of management of the war from a financial side, that was a disastor, they spent nearly a trillion dollars on the war. Thats the war impact to be concerned about.
