but I didn't know the number of US dead was that high.

The US dead isn't that high - 70 is the approximate total that Balkan Freepers have been able to tally, and includes Germans, Italians, British etc. The US dead is around 15 soldiers.

Last June there was a monument dedicated to KFOR soldiers who had lost their lives in the Kosovo mission, and they said there had been 68 soldiers who died. They also claimed that 13 of that number were US soldiers. However, Hoplite found the name of one US soldier that they missed, so we conclude that 14 had lost their lives as of last June, and the total number was 69.

KFOR honored its soldiers who gave their lives in establishing a safe and secure environment in Kosovo with a memorial in Film City. KFOR soldiers came together Tuesday, June 11, to remember the 68 in a ceremony marking the unveiling of the memorial.
