3. Right in the projected range

Total number of US casualties are generally 2.5 times the number of days we have been there. The past year or so, it's been about 3.5, IIRC.

Every month of delay is another company's worth of soldiers dead and two battalions worth injured.

Remember that, Congressmen, remember that, lurking Freepers.

4. Awful

If this same conflict was happening even ten years ago, that figure would be closer to ten thousand.
