Official Casulaty counts for the gulf war.
US forces. 147 killed, 457 wounded. And some of these were "friendly fire" (35 deaths, 72 wounded) cases.
Iraqi forces: estimates only are available since Iraq didn't have accurate counts to start with.
Dead: 750 - 1500 dead due to the Air Campaign.
Wounded: 2250 - 4500 due to the air campaign.
Civilian Dead: <100 in the Air Campaign.
71,000 Iraqi's taken prisoner in the ground war, of which only 2000 were wounded.
DIA esitmates show that 100,000 total Iraqi troops were killed in ground action, 300,000 troops wounded, 150,000 desertions and less than 200 total civilian deaths. no numbers listed for civilians wounded.
EDIT: Seems a far cry from the "millions" claimed by "some" people. [img]smile.gif[/img]
