U.S. Military Deaths in Afghanistan Reach 2,162 in 2013

From Breitbart's Big Peace:
There have been 119 U.S. military fatalities in the Afghanistan war reported for 2013, a dramatic drop of about 60 percent from the 295 that occurred the previous year, according to an Associated Press count.

The 119 American deaths brought the overall total to 2,162 since U.S. troops were first deployed to Afghanistan more than 12 years ago on October 7, 2001, according to AP’s detailed Afghanistan casualties database.

Of the total 2,162 U.S. fatalities throughout the ongoing war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, 1,604 have died since Obama was inaugurated for his first term on January 20, 2009.

Obama escalated the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan soon after taking office. There have also been changes in rules of engagement under his presidency.

Almost three out of every four American deaths in Afghanistan have occurred under Obama's watch. There have been almost three times more U.S. fatalities during the estimated five years of the current administration than under the eight years of the previous one.
But why is this fact not broadcast everyday from those on PMS-NBC and the rest of the Drive-By-Media?

Oh yeah, I forgot, they are protecting the Dear Leader.
