According to iCasualties, this brings the total number of allied soldiers killed in Iraq to 4,685; in Afghanistan, 1,535. During this same period, Iraq Body Count lists the deaths of 39 Iraqi civilians. Sadly, there is no site that I have found listing the civilian deaths in Afghanistan, but per Wikipedia, there were 1,013 civilian deaths in Afghanistan for the first six months of this year, and it is projected to top that number for the second half.
