Throughout the entire history of the United States military, the amount of military personnel has increased and decreased depending on times of war and peace. Obviously if we go to war we need more people and when we are at peace then we don't need as many soldiers and military staff. Hope this helps.

Your question can be interpreted two ways. First, if you are referring to soldiers as all military personnel (to include Army, Army Air Corps, Navy and Marines) the answer according to the Department of Defense is 291,557 killed in action with an additional 113,842 deaths from "other causes," for a total of 405,399 military deaths. Or, if you mean soldiers (US Army personnel), there were 234,874 killed in action with an additional 83,400 deaths from "other causes," totalling 318,274. This information came from American War and Military Operations Casualties: Lists and Statistics, a report completed by Hannah Fischer, Knowledge Resources Group, updated July 13, 2005.
The exact number of innocent deaths in the Falkland War is not known, but it is estimated that around 649 Argentine military personnel and civilians, as well as 253 British military personnel and three civilian Falkland Islanders, lost their lives.

The American military introduced service numbers on February 28, 1918, and discontinued their use in 1974, replacing them with the social security numbers of the serviceman/servicewoman. However in order to prevent identity theft and possible security breaches, in June 2011, the Pentagon stopped using social security numbers on military and dependent ID cards and reintroduced the service number. All members are expected to have their new service number by June 2015.
