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. The number of Americans who died remained virtually unchanged. 197 have died so far this year compared to 195 in the first six months of last year.
