Losing the endurance of freedom
Total foreign military deaths in Afghanistan in 2010 neared 600 with the death of another service member on Sunday, an unwelcome figure that will likely weigh heavily on Western leaders amid declining support for the war. The United States has suffered by far the most casualties, with at least 1,348 deaths. British losses total at least 341, with the remaining 480 shared among the other 44 Isaf partners. The US also has the largest number of troops in Afghanistan, nearly 100,000, with other nations contributing roughly 50,000.
