Map Of Coalition Countries That Lost At Least 1 Solider Helping US Forces In Afghanistan Between 2001 & 2021 – Brilliant Maps

The
map
above
shows
every
single
coalition
country

to
lose
a
solider
in
Afghanistan
helping
the
US
fight
its
war
on
terror
in
the
country
between
2001
and
2021.

Here
are
the
total
number
of
deaths
per
country,
along
with
deaths
relative
to
the
country’s
population:

And
here’s
a
map
showing
relative
coalition
deaths
by
country:

In
total
there
were

3,621
coalition
deaths
in
Afghanistan,
which
includes
deaths
“In
and
Around
Afghanistan,”
but
not
deaths
on
soldiers
on
their
to
and
from
Afghanistan.

If
those
were
included
there
would
be
an
additional
59
US
deaths,
62
Spanish
deaths
and
1
additional
Canadian
death
for
a
total
of
122
extra
dead,
not
included
in
the
table
above.

Of
course
this
pales
in
comparison
to
the
civilian
loss
of
life.

The
Costs
of
War
Project:

“Estimated
that

243,000
people
died
as
a
direct
result
of
this
war.

These
figures
do
not
include
deaths
caused
by
disease,
loss
of
access
to
food,
water,
infrastructure,
and/or
other
indirect
consequences
of
the
war.”

Additionally,

Since
invading
Afghanistan
in
2001,
the
United
States
has
spent

$2.313
trillion
on
the
war,
which
includes
operations
in
both
Afghanistan
and
Pakistan.

Note
that
this
total
does
not
include
funds
that
the
United
States
government
is
obligated
to
spend
on
lifetime
care
for
American
veterans
of
this
war,
nor
does
it
include
future
interest
payments
on
money
borrowed
to
fund
the
war.

Given
that
the
Taliban
is
now
back
in
power
in
Afghanistan,
it’s
difficult
not
to
argue
that
it
was
all
a
huge
waste
of
lives
and
money.

Just
food
for
thought
the
next
time
the
US
asks
the
rest
of
the
world
for
help.
