The first Gulf War was fought in 1990-1991. A total of 700,000 US soldiers participated in 'Operation Desert Storm'. Considering the fact that only 294 US soldiers died during the conflict and the average life expectancy in USA is 78 years , it can be safely said that a majority of Iraq War veterans are still alive. However, there exists no database to indicate the exact number of surviving veterans of Iraq war.

well during the invasion we sent 148,000 personal the war lasted 8 yrs and 8 months so over the period of time we would be sending thousands of more soldiers and also soldiers would be redeployed some say 500,000 but my guess is somewhere around 400,000 but not alot of people have an accurate number.
