Change! August 2011 Deadliest month for US in Afghanistan

More lives have been lost under Obama's first 2 years than under 8 years of Bush. Rest assured that if Bush were the President, this would be constant headline news. I'm talking daily.From Army Times: August: Deadliest month for U.S. in Afghanistan

August has become the deadliest month for U.S. troops in the nearly 10-year-old war in Afghanistan, where international forces have started to go home and let Afghan forces take charge of securing their country.

A record 66 U.S. troops have died so far this month, eclipsing the 65 killed in July 2010, according to a tally by The Associated Press.

This month’s death toll soared when 30 Americans — most of them elite Navy SEALs — were killed in a helicopter crash Aug. 6. They were aboard a Chinook shot down as it was flying in to help Army Rangers who had come under fire in Wardak province. It was the single deadliest incident of war being waged by Afghan and U.S.-led coalition forces and insurgents.
