Sixty-six American troops died in Afghanistan this July, making it the deadliest month of the entire nine-year occupation. Approximately 265 American troops have died so far this year. For the Afghanis themselves, the situation has also gotten worse — last year saw at least 2,200 civilian deaths due to the conflict.
