Several tens of thousands. This is still classified information. The sums reported for public consumption are ridiculously low. The thing was a fiasco from the get-go. Very sad.

much more than have died in the entire iraq and afganistan war....
in the weeks following d-day, everyone would have said it was a desaster because of the human and financial costs... but in the end was our turning point in the war....
and people say we´re losing in iraq.... they have no patience... the dem´s all want to cut and run.....
