Coalition War Fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan

This website monitors all reported coalition fatalities in these two war zones.

Beyond 'defence budgets' and 'military expenditure' the real costs of war are measured in soldier's blood and the sadness of their families.

It is of course worth noting that this website does not cover the many wounded and maimed.

Nor does it count fatalities from Afghan security forces or deaths in the Afghan civilian population. These figures will inevitably be considerably higher than those for the coalition forces.

Politicians should be made to ponder these numbers at length before making rash decisions on military interventions.
