>Is there any reliable source for the # of American servicemen killed in Afghanistan?< http://web1.whs.osd.mil/MMID/CASUALTY/CASTOP.HTM You want 'Operation Enduring Freedom.' Click on 'Casualties by State.' Figures are through 29 May. The Military is the _only_ source for casualty statistics. It is, like it or not, the best source of information for Afghanistan and Iraq. There are no large-scale operations in which people simply disappear, and there are no jungles for them to disappear into, as in WW II or Vietnam. The dead and wounded are accounted for.
