Five years at 365 days/year+5 days+1 Leap Day=1831 days of War.
In those 1831 days, 4000 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq.
A little division:
4000 killed/1826 days=2.1845 U.S. Soldiers killed, on average, every single day.
So there’s that. Something to think about.

3,990 US Troops Killed… 29,395 Wounded… 2,100 Have Tried To Commit Suicide… 88% [...]
Everything is strange today.
I don’t know what happened. My stomach is turning over and my mind is racing. I’m worried.
It was a beautiful day, now it’s a beautiful night and the only way I can put it is that I’m unsettled.
Kind of Blue is helping some.
