I thought this would be interesting since I've seen all kinds of numbers but no way to confirm if they're correct. You might want to compare it by presidents.

Please excuse me for the mess in the middle. I don't know how to straighten it out.

United States (combat) 3328

US Non-combat 753

The most often intentionally overlooked statistic when the number "over 4,000" is used.

The other overlooked statistic is "25,000 wounded" In this case over 13.000+ returned to their units within 72 hours.

I have a friend who has picked up two Purple Hearts in Iraq that required less than twenty-fours in the hospital, combined.

The first occurred during the Second Battle of Fallujah, when he was repairing the radios on a tank that had been damaged by a roadside bomb, and a terrorist hit the back of the tank with an RPG. Daniel bounced his head off the radio, giving himself a pretty good gash across the forehead and a mild concussion. The doctors decided to keep him overnight for observation (as some head injuries take a few hours to manifest themselves) and then sent him back to work the next morning.

The second one was from a mortar fragment that required four stitches on the back of his thigh (he'd actually gone to the aide station to get some butterfly bandages for what he claims was little more than a scratch, but they wrote him up for a Purple Heart anyway).
