According to data listed on the website icasualties.org, by the end of June this year some 57, 856 Americans have been killed or wounded in combat in Iraq, or medivac'd out of the country with non-combat related injuries or diseases. It's not clear whether the total of 3,607 deaths includes the 116 American soldiers who committed suicide while on duty in Iraq.
The figure also doesn't take into account all of the heightened casualties being suffered this month.
Once again, credit for all that American blood shed and those diseased young men and women rests squarely with the Constitution State's resident Neocons Chris Shays and Joe Lieberman.
