This analysis explores the staggering toll of the Iraq War up to March 2010, with U.S. military deaths at 4,020 and wounded at 4,748, while Iraqi civilian deaths stand at 104,304. The chaos following the disbandment of the Iraqi military has led to riots, looting, and a significant rise in violence, leaving many without basic needs. As troop levels fluctuated over the years, the decision to withdraw U.S. forces by August 2011 raised questions about the choices made during this conflict. Understanding these factors is crucial for grasping the complexities of the war.
