Well Even tenfolding that number is “small change”.You know what is funny? that people actully believe in the casualty numbers the Americans have been presenting for the last 5-6 decades which is laughable and low IQ that some don't question it example these who consume mainstream media.
But you are wrong anyway.
Coinciding with lowering stationed troops, all coalition members saw lower casualties (from already very low baseline).
These are from countries where every single death made big news in several news sources. These are countries with much more freedom of press https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index
you cannot hide it as well and as easily.
This is all based on logical though and multiple sources. You on other hand get your info from conspiracy websites?
It was 20 years and the 58.000 figure is going around for very long.Example the Americans have been claiming around 10k to 20k KIA in Vietnam but decades later it was proven to be 200.000+ US KIA in action in that 10 year war.
Show me proof of this 200.000 kia source…
Yes and there are anti-government media and journalists digging into such numbers….What the Americans/NATO do is they hire their armed forces as private contractors so that they are not responsible for sharing casuality numbers..

The islamic emirate of aghanistan is a bogus source. Speak out against them and you get shot in a stadium.To this day some actully believe Allied forces only lost 7k+ in Afghanistan which is extremely laughable where as the numbers released by the IEA is the real estimation which is around 150.000+ Allied forces + 300.000 ANA and ANP losses and on the other side around 500.000 IEA losses thru out the course of the 20 year conflict.
On other hand we have scott ritter free to throw russian propaganda around.
These are the real realistic numbers but due to propaganda they will never release the true allied forces casualities because it would cause uproar but as you may know war does one thing which is kill combatants on all sides and the more there is engagements the more there is loss of life which is normal.
The 100.000 losses on both sides in the Ukraine war is realistic numbers. When you have a large conventional engagements across such a vaste lands casualities happen and if they didn't then whatever is happening there is not war but rather a movie is being shoot there.
There is a mathematical probabilities in conventional engagements when you factor in the amount of battles, lines, skirmishes, ambushes, counterattacks or offensives etc etc if you count the amount that occured in line with the numbers being presented in anywhere the US has been active is not only bullshxt but filmsy especially in Ukraine
Afghanistan was low intensity insurgency https://www.theglobeandmail.com/new...a-fight-against-heat-boredom/article25297446/ and for latter years most of fighting went through ANA, with only a skeleton crew remaining of coalition presence.
My country the dutch were there as well. Lost only a handfull of men…but my god was it expensive to have a military presence on other side of the world and pump so many funds into nation building and ANA whom preferred to embezzle it.
the voters wanted it to end not because of “losing troops/weapons” but purely to stop throwing money into a bottomless pit.
