| Milforum Moderator  | Post; Did you personally know anyone who died in Iraq?I just recieved an e-mail that made Operation Iraqi Freedom a little more personal. One of the soldiers that I served in Iraq in 2002-2003, died in Fallujah from mortar fire in his second tour of Iraq. This is the first time I have personally known someone who died in Iraq. As I said, it makes the war a little more personal.

| Immunes | I personally didn't, but my fiance lost one of his friends over there. The day he found out was a really hard day.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Iraq War Casualties? So far about 1080 American troops died, wounded unknown. Allies forces, maybe less than half hundred dead.

| Centurion | No. All my friends have been safe so far. They're in the Air Force, so their base of ops is usually (not always) further from hostility.
