US Military Deaths in Afghan War Increase 4-Fold From 558 to 2,207 Under Obama's Watch -- Breitbart
U.S. military deaths in the 13-year Afghanistan war increased nearly fourfold under President Barack Obama, from an estimated 558 at the end of the previous administration to at least 2,207 now.
Breitbart News’ count is gleaned from AP's database of casualties in the ongoing Afghanistan war, which started almost 13 years ago to this day on October 7, 2001.
Of the 2,207 U.S. military fatalities as of the end of last month, 1,649, or about 75 percent, have occurred since Obama was inaugurated for his first-term over six years ago on January 20, 2009.
In contrast, under the Bush administration, 558 American were killed by insurgents in Afghanistan.
Obama escalated the American military presence in Afghanistan almost immediately upon taking office in 2009. When campaigning for his first-term, he referred to the conflict as the "good" war.
