US Deaths in Afghanistan Reached 1,114 Under Obama Vs. 630 Under Bush

Call it bad luck, blame it on mismanagement, or maybe attribute it to an increased mission in recent years. Regardless, the United States lost 1,114 soldiers in Afghanistan since the start of January 2009; the month Obama became President. That is close to double of the 630 troops that were killed during the seven years-plus that the Bush Administration ran the war.
