Are you aware that most wars start out with small death numbers, then skyrocket big time later into the war?
the Vietnamese war, it didn't get too bad till a few years into it, then ka-boom! The death toll went through the roof. I'm not sure, but I believe the death toll in Vietnam tallied less in its first 3 or 4 years in comparison to the Iraq war now so far. Then when it skyrocketed, it was like 25,000 to 40,000 Americans per month. Though, I don't see that happening with Iraq but 1,000 American deaths is still a lot in the first 1 and half years of the war while there's an estimated 100,000 innocent Iraqi casualties as a result of the air strikes, and more.
In wars, we have to expect deaths.
