Over 6 thousand American dead troops and over 50,000 American Casualties in Afghanistan, Iraq

Tom Hayden has noted: 6,000 American Troops Killed in Afghanistan, Iraq



We have surpassed 6,000 U.S. troops killed while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.


6,002 American soldiers have died.



43,270 American soldiers have been officially wounded.



An additional 55,007 have required medical evacuation out of the combat zones Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn.



On the day that President Obama helped kick off the Wounded Warrior bicycle tour, a conservative 104,279 American troops are considered casualties of these long wars. This does not included the walking wounded, those suffering from traumatic brain injury, attempted or successful suicides, or civilian contractors.



No less than 75 percent of all casualties in Afghanistan have occurred during the Obama administration's tenure, including 933 of the 1,588 fatalities and 8,561 of the 11,191 wounded
