The actual number of people killed in the WTC are miniscule compared to the pop of New York, yet I don't see anyone using the term "miniscule" with that tragedy.

Au contraire, mon frer.
I remark all the time that it is an absolute miracle that so few people died in that carnage. It could have been 65,000.
I feel for your friend's family. I really do. But there is loss whenever a loved one does, however the cause.
Bottom line is that ~850 deaths over an entire year out of a current mass deployment of over 138,000 troops (a lot more if you count rotations) is a SMALL amount.
Hardly the mess. If anything, I'd say the minimal loss of life is quite the SUCCESS.
