So far in July, 43 American soldiers have died in Iraq from hostile fire, 8 from non-hostile action.
The press has not been covering the dead in Iraq, giving many Americans the impression that the situation there has quieted. Instead, they are focusing on Allawi's new government. In fact, the 51 dead so far in July ("so far" because Pentagon figures lag by days) exceeds the 41 killed in June. CNN keeps a running total at this web address, with regular Pentagon updates included (more than once daily, usually): http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/
So far, nearly 6,000 have been listed as wounded. The "wounded" figures are harder to assemble because the Pentagon only announces wounded soldiers in connection with an otherwise fatal attack. The rest must be pieced together from unofficial reporting.

I heard some commentator suggest that the real comparison between Iraq and Vietnam isn't that people oppose both wars but that the media and the public seem to be getting accostumed to the steady stream of casualties. This guy (can't remember his name) was saying that the real danger with Iraq is that people would just get used to the idea of hearing about 1 or 2 US deaths every day. He suggested that was what happend in Vietnam in 66 or 67.
