Fair, but those were volunteers. Obviously he is referring to Americans deployed by the government in some form, nobody died in the line of duty so to say.
Speaking as a civil serviceman, "we [the State] haven't lost a single American in this war" is accurate. Speaking as an American, "we [the American people] haven't lost a single American in this war" is inaccurate.
In addition to volunteers there's the American journalist Brent Renaud, who was killed by Russian forces last year.
