How Many is 3910?

As of Sunday, Jan. 6, 2008, at least 3,910 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes eight military civilians. At least 3,178 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers. - The Associated Press, with a tip-o-the-hat to Hullabaloo
How do we get our heads around that number?

Well, imagine if everyone who voted for Lori Waters were killed. That would be 3880 people.

Or imagine every student in Loudoun County High School (1323), Broad Run High School (1415) and Dominion High School (1221) were killed. That would be 3959 people.

Just something to think about.

How many is 3910? A whole heckuva lot less than 58,000, for starters. Just something else to think about, of course.
