The Iraq War (20 March 2003 – 18 December 2011)
The Eight Percent War
11 February 2005
http://www.counterpunch.org/garcia02112005.html
From “The Eight Percent War”:
“Projecting the present Iraq War out to 2013 — a ten year war — with average losses as already seen, we have a 50,000 casualty war with 7000 war dead. This is a 33% casualty war (4.7% fatalities) if pursued with the same 150,000 soldiers. If the war managers choose to keep the casualty rate to that of the Vietnam War, 8%, then 625,000 soldiers will have to serve over the course of the decade. This implies 4 year terms of active duty. The fatality rate would be 1.12%, about half that of the Vietnam War [2.15%].”
<><><><><><><>
Compare the above estimate with the results of the Iraq War tallied in 2013 (Chris Adams, “Millions went to war in Iraq, Afghanistan, leaving many with lifelong scars,” McClatchy Newspapers, March 14, 2013, http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/03/14/185880/millions-went-to-war-in-iraq-afghanistan.html):
Ten years after the United States went to war in Iraq, one of the most common numbers associated with the conflict is the tally of Americans killed: nearly 4,500. Add in the twin war in Afghanistan, and the tally goes to more than 6,600.
Since the U.S. went to war in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, about 2.5 million members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and related Reserve and National Guard units have been deployed in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, according to Department of Defense data. Of those, more than a third were deployed more than once.
In fact, as of last year [2012] nearly 37,000 Americans had been deployed more than five times, among them 10,000 members of guard or Reserve units. Records also show that 400,000 service members have done three or more deployments.
As of last September [2012], more than 1.6 million military members who’d been deployed in what’s classified as the global war on terror – in Iraq and Afghanistan, primarily – had transitioned to veteran status, VA records show. Of those, about 1 million were from active-duty service and about 675,000 from Reserve or guard deployments.
And of those, about 670,000 veterans have been awarded disability status connected to their military service. Another 100,000 have their initial claims pending, according to a November VA [Veterans Administration] analysis.
<><><><><><><>
An estimate for the casualty rate of the combined Iraq and Afghanistan Wars is 4.6% [in 2012-2013, using the data from the above news report]. The data used are: 776,600 casualties (6,600 dead, 670,000 veterans awarded disability status, and 100,000 having their initial disability claims pending), and 1.675 million formerly active duty personnel having transitioned to veteran status. The casualty rate based on the total deployment of 2.5 million military people is 3.1% (and the fatality rate based on this deployment is 0.26%). This makes for a 2% war in 2012-2013 based on assuming 8 affected Americans per military casualty (6,212,800 affected and caring) and a population of 315 million.
The assumptions behind 8 caring Americans per directly involved military person (war veteran, casualty, or fatality) were described in my 2005 article “The Eight Percent War.” The hypothesis of that article is that American war managers must keep the casualty rate of wars below 8% of the total deployment, and the “homefront” impact below 8% of the population, in order to continue a war without public opposition. From the above we can see that the combined Iraq-Afghanistan War was keep below a 5% casualty rate of the deployment, and to a 2% estimated impact on the homefront.
Conclusions:
I am very good at estimating, but I am not very persuasive.
Technological advances that enable American wars to be prosecuted by remote control and with few American casualties (of a physical nature) will also ensure that those wars will be unending.
