Human costs of War under estimated by Americans

A very true story that I hate to cover. I don't like telling other people, including my friends, that they are under-informed about war. Why? Because I am not an expert.

This story shows that the average American that responded to this poll, slightly under estimated US combat casualties. And, greatly under estimated civilian casualties.

Far from a vague statistic, the death toll is painfully real for many Americans. Seventeen percent in the poll know someone who has been killed or wounded in Iraq. And among adults under 35, those closest to the ages of those deployed, 27 percent know someone who has been killed or wounded.
