Too many,
So show some support for the cause, the average solider in Iraq supports the mission and wants the news to show the good things that are happening. In the news our soldier's mistakes are always the headline, our soldiers bodies are always the headlines, and one disgruntled soldier out of 100,000 will be the one that gets the front page story.
When was the last time you saw a headline on anything good happening, because good stuff is happening and your news media is NOT telling you, they do not show the enemy's torture camps, the be headings, or the cheering in the streets after wards. They do not talk about how the US Soldier at risk of life and limb is bring in water and sewage and electric. No that don't sell very well with the news.
These soldiers died for their mission and instead of being honored for their sacrifice there bodies are being used to sell newspapers.
Think about this (a F'n Koran was flushed down a toilet in Gitmo and it gets a headline in the news -- meanwhile as the raping, pillaging, and killing goes on around the world the press thinks the MOST important event in the world is one F'n Koran). Now there's a press we can be proud of.

2500+. Not bad compared to 4000 lost during a training exercise before D-day. This is not callousness on my part. I'm just comparing statistics...every lost American life IS a tragedy
