how many troops died on D day?

On Omaha Beach alone...
- 2 Divisions
- One day
* 2,400 casualties, most in the first few hours

Fast forward to Iraq:
- ~260,000 U.S. Troops
- just over 2 years
- ~1,800 deaths

A little perspective goes a long way.

So...what's your point? One war had more death than another? What's that prove? The real question is what did they die for?

I'll give you a point: the first war you mention was worth the deaths (and is one of the rare wars in history that was worth it), the second is not.
