The US casualties KIA (as at 2 July) 841. That would amount to 50,460 Taliban KIA.

(figures from Wikipedia)

A total of 75,000 plus Taliban KIA? Hmmmm...
JMA, you need to read & understand accurately.

I did not write about a 60 kills : 1 kill ratio.
I did write about a 60 soldiers in theatre : 1 KIA among them.
