How many American soldiers have died outside Iraq? Ask MetaFilterHow many American soldiers who served in this Iraq war have died since leaving Iraq (German hospitals, American hospitals, at home etc.) ?
Some unverified reports have the number as high as 7,500.

They purposely don't release that information. For a dead soldier to be an Iraq casualty, he or she has to die in Iraq. If you're airlifted out to Germany and die there, you're not an Iraq casualty.And then, just lately, they've started redefining civilian casualties as being 'ones that aren't killed by car bombs or explosive devices'. If at first you don't succeed, redefine casualty.
