The Associated Press has run the numbers and reports despite U.S. reports of progress on the battlefield, American troops were killed in the first half of this year at the same pace as in 2010. That suggests that the war’s toll on U.S. forces has not changed as Afghanistan prepares to take control of it’s own security.
