Falling on the last day of May, this Memorial Day also marked the end of the month in which the official casualty count for American service personnel in Iraq eclipsed 5,000, including as it does now more than 800 dead and 4,200 wounded. Meanwhile, more dogged reporters now estimate that the injuries and illnesses not included in official statistics, such as those requiring service personnel to be evacuated for various physical and mental traumas, probably put the truer casualty count closer to 10,000 Americans.

None of these totals include American civilians or contractors maimed or killed, nor the casualties suffered by coalition allies, nor certainly the far greater number of killed, wounded, or displaced Iraqis – many of whom are militants, of course, but some of whom are, or were, innocents. Finally, there are the scattering of hostages, and the missing.

More remarkably, not a single British military member has been killed in the past three months, when 265 Americans died, and in the past nine months the Brits have lost just nine soldiers, due to the fact that most have been stationed in the southern part of Iraq, where the insurgency is relatively quiet.
