Well, I hope this works because it took some work!

These are the casualty rates (from above)
expressed in proportion to the populations of these countries
http://www.prb.org/pdf08/08WPDS_Eng.pdf

Deaths of soldiers per 5 million people


SKorea.... Portugal.....Finland..... Hungary
0.2............1.0............1.0.............1.0

Sweden.... Italy......... Poland...... Czech....... Lithuania
1.2.............1.2..........1.2............1.5...........1.5

Germany.. Romania... France...... Latvia....... Australia
1.8.............2.2...........2.2...........2.2.............2.3

Spain....... Norway..... Netherlands.......US........Estonia
2.8.............3.2...............4.7..............11.2.......11.2
.......................................................(671)
UK........Canada........Denmark
12.5.......17.7...............19.2
............(116)

-edit- there!

Now this is interesting data that you can actually draw some conclusions from.

Of course the US has lost the most soldiers numerically, by a long shot,
and proportionately they are still among 5 with the most losses.

But the US population is roughly 10 times that of Canada, and we've lost proportionately more soldiers than the US.

I think sometimes even our American friends forget the size of the population of the US compared to most of the rest of the world's countries, Canada in particular.
