Human Cost of Post-9/11 Wars: Direct War Deaths in Major War Zones
Sources tend to be conservative, only counting deaths which researchers have verified through two or more independent sources.
Tally of 897,150 to 928,558 direct deaths through August 2021, including 7,052 U.S. military, 8,189 contractors and 363,939 to 387,072 civilians; says counts are approximations from several sources and that categories are disputed.
