Forgive my tired eyes but what exactly are you trying to say?
I mean besides that I am a fool?
If I could decipher your incoherent attempt at communication, I might think that you are stating the US has tolled 3863 casualties since the war's inception.
Do you even know what a casualty is?
Judging by your addled posting, I don't think so.
So rather than play cat 'n' mouse with you, I'll save you the time and further embarrassment that you've brought upon yourself:
"Casualty" refers to all persons lost to active military service, which includes those killed in action, killed by disease, disabled by physical or mental injuries, captured, deserted, and missing.
So you see, "casualty" refers to deaths, injuries, desertion, and mia.
So how many casualties has the US suffered in Iraq?
We don't know for sure due to the character of the news coming out of the civil war zone.
Here's a high of 50,000: Report: 50,000 American casualties in Iraq
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Report:_50%2C000_American_casualties_in_IraqThen there's the figure from Anti-war.com which shows over 28000 injured and over 3000 dead.
That's 31,000 casualties. That's the same # provided by your own cited source:
