Rate of coalition deaths increasing in Afghanistan

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Let me first start with the differences between this and Iraq:

There is a real coalition in Afghanistan. Almost half of the deaths this year and last year were not Americans. This rate has been increasing. Afghanistan was actually connected to 9/11. The media has completely ignored Afghanistan.

Here are the statistics on those who gave their lives in this forgotten conflict:
