July bloodiest month in Afghanistan

July was the deadliest month for Americans and their foreign allies since the war (Operation Enduring Freedom) began in 2001. Seventy-two foreigners, 43 of them American, died in July. This was mostly due to roadside bombs. Twenty-two British soldiers also died, marking the highest death toll for the nation's troops since the Falklands War in 1980. The high number of deaths is the result of the recent American offensive,
and the growing U.S. troop build-up, which will reach 68,000 by the end of the year. The bloodiest month
had previously been July 2008, in which only 28 U.S. soldiers died.
The last time Afghanistan was fully conquered was by the Kushan Empire. The infamous Genghis Khan tried when he went through the Khyber Pass. He failed. The Russians invaded in December 1979 (Cold War). They failed. But I guess the U.S. government knows something I do not. This quagmire reminds me of Vietnam.
