My Way News - August deadliest month for US in Afghanistan
My Way News reports: "A record 62,000 U.S. troops are now in the country, with 4,000 more due before year's end. That compares with about 130,000 in Iraq, most due to leave next year. Since the fresh troops began arriving in Afghanistan last spring, U.S. deaths have climbed steadily [...] as American forces have taken the fight to the Taliban in areas of the country which have long been under insurgent control."
