57 Percent of All U.S. Military Deaths in Afghanistan Happened Under Obama’s Leadership—In Only 2 1/2 Years and Counting!

Here’s how I arrived at that figure:
U.S. Death Toll in Afghanistan under Bush (October 2001 to January 31, 2009 (Yes, I’m giving Obama the benefit of the doubt)) = 645
(source: www.icasualties.org)
Total U.S. Death Toll in Afghanistan as of June 2, 2011 = 1491
(source: www.defense.gov)
1491 – 645 = 846
Therefore:
U.S. Death Toll in Afghanistan under Obama as of June 2, 2011 = 846
(846/1491)*100 = 56.74 (rounded down)
Rounding up, we get 57 percent!
Folks, if this statistic were touted on the evening news every single night, Obama would be a goner! That’s why the Lame Stream Media has hit the mute button.
Time to publicize the fact that in only 2 1/2 short years, Obama’s Kumbayah Kinetic Warfare policies have killed more U.S. servicemen in Afghanistan than Bush ever did in his entire 8 years in office!—56.7 percent more, to be more precise!
How’s all that Hope and Change working for ya’?
Afghan Death Toll Rises; Media Interest Declines

The war in Afghanistan gets little attention by the mainstream media these days. But the loss of American lives continues to mount. Just last week, seven U.S. troops were killed by a powerful bomb which had exploded in a field where they were patrolling on foot. At least twenty-eight Americans have been killed in May, 2011 alone, according to the Associated Press.
To date, the Department of Defense has identified 1582 American service members who have died as part of the Afghanistan war and related operations, the majority of whom were killed since President Obama took office. During the Obama administration, more American service members have died in Afghanistan than during all the prior years since the Afghanistan war began in 2001.
For the U.S. military, 2010 was the deadliest year of the Afghanistan war so far. 499 service members died. Additionally, there were 5,182 US forces wounded in 2010. This represents more than half of all U.S. forces wounded in the entire Afghanistan war, which totaled 9,957 at the end of 2010.
The total U.S. military deaths compiled by the Defense Department for Operation Enduring Freedom for the years 2001 through 2010 are as follows: |
