The current death toll of American lives lost this year in Iraq havenÕt been publicly publicizes. In 2012 there was only 1 life lost, the lowest since the US has been in the war.
The "Merchants of Death" were the US weapons' suppliers of World War I and World War II that were thought by some people to have dragged the country into "a struggle that was none of its business" by unduly influencing the American decision to enter the War so that they could make a profit off of it. During both World War I and World War II, these manufacturers of armaments made enormous amounts of money by supplying the military with their weapons.
After World War 2, the US had the strongest economy in the world.
According to the United States Department of Defense the death toll was 116,516.

The sinking of the USS Maine remains in question.Spain was an abusive colonial master even though the US media did exagerate the death toll.
