Hi,
Why only count troops in the area though? If I am not mistaken there has been casualties at for example Pentagon in the past. What makes you think something like that could not happen in a war?
I suspect that that is exactly the problem here. The reporter writing the article was talking of total casualties, both military and civilian. The military including all combatants, not just forces from the USA. The headline editor jumped to the wrong conclusion and wrote a bit of nonsense that makes the whole looks stupid.
