Out of all the American military in Afghanistan along with the NATO countries troops, and extremely sadly for his family and friends and the Navajo Nation, only one soldier died in the occupation theater during the month of February.
The war is still taking it's toll though as 18,299 world wide troops have been wounded in action in OEF up to March 1st as to DoD Casualty pdf up from 18,215 at the beginning of February. But even those have been gradually going down as those sent try and accomplish at least some of the Main Missions, sent into that region after 9/11, that were abandoned and forgotten years back.
And no one is reporting this, especially in the so called main stream national media. Nor are they connecting either war to what happened last night as no deal was reached about the deficits and President Obama signed the Sequestration bill while rubber stamping, now obstructionist, boehner screams 'No New Taxes'.
