They hit a peak in 2010 when we turned our focus in Afghanistan...

US casualties deaths by year

2010 - 499
2011 - 418
2012 - 310
2013 - 127
2014 - 18

you are looking at cumulative.. of course it will always rise because it's the total but the blue line is the actual body count by year and it's getting lower every year.

https://www.facebook.com/TheFiveOnFo...98315676856685

What was obvious then, is even more obvious now, with the revelation of emails where various Obama officials are telling each other to stress that the attack was the result of a video, and not a broader failure of policy. The comparison to Woodward and Bernstein helping to cover up Watergate, is becoming even more obviously true today than it was then.

And the fact that that email was deliberately withheld from Congress in earlier deliveries of documents, shows that the people in charge of such documents knew well what a smoking gun it was.

Will we EVER see the media starting to take an interest in what this administration is doing? More than just fighting for a position where they can tell them how wonderful they are?
Abso-freakin-lutley! This media is a disgrace to the human race and their boomerang is gonna come back.

Wow I bet the parents of those who died, think their death is more then FACTUAL! DON'T YOU.

Dead you cannot get any more factual then that. Sad thing is, these souls were not ready to die yet, they went way before their time.

I was one of those parents, the way I love my kids. You bet I want facts as long as it takes, I want to see facts and want to know why no one came to their rescue, when they requested it.

Facts are, 4 dead Americans senselessly died a very senseless death.

If the troops deaths peak was 2010, they INCREASED during Obama's presidency. How do you not get that?

What you're saying is that Obama's war policies killed more troops, but that's okay because deaths are decreasing now.

The current Office Holder will leave his "reign of terror" in his wake for us all to suffer even after he is gone.
