As of Monday, June 28, 850 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq (news - web sites) last year, according to the Defense Department. Of those, 629 died as a result of hostile action and 221 died of non-hostile causes. The department did not provide an update over the weekend. snip
