FWIW, we lost over 6,000 soldiers on Iwo Jima ALONE

Fair point on the Iraq deaths.
That being said, I'd be willing to bet that the number of Allied soldiers killed in occupied Germany and Japan (after VE and VJ Days, respectively) by German/Japanese resistance fighters/insurgents was a lot less than we've lost in Iraq since the "cessation of hostilities" (or whatever it was called).
