Afghanistan?<

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.
