11. It ranges from about 14-18 times higher
And it varies depending on when the calculation was made and if non-combat fatalities are included.
The tricky part is calculating the fatal casualty rate in Iraq since troop numbers vary over time. At the time. I used 130,000 as a rough estimate of the average deployment.
