(CNSNews.com) –<\/strong>\u00a0At least 1,019 U.S. troops have died in and around Afghanistan since President Obama was inaugurated on January 20, 2009, according to CNSNews.com\u2019s count, which runs through July 31, 2011.<\/p>\n

Those 1,019 deaths represent about 64 percent of the total 1,588 deaths that have occurred since Oct. 7, 2001, when\u00a0U.S. forces began\u00a0fighting in Afghanistan to oust the Taliban regime that was\u00a0harboring al Qaeda.\u00a0 At least 32 U.S. soldiers died in Afghanistan last month.<\/p>\n

So far this year, from January through the end of July, there have been at least 230 U.S. military deaths, 35 fewer then the tally from the same period last year.<\/p>\n

The 497 American soldiers who died in Afghanistan in 2010 make that year the deadliest since the war started in October 2001.<\/p>\n

The majority of American fatalities in the Afghanistan war have been combat-related. Of the 1,019 deaths under President Obama\u2019s watch, at least 932 (about 91 percent) have been combat-related. (See chart<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In the course of the Afghanistan war, there have been at least 1,381 combat-related deaths, which is about 87 percent of the total 1,588 U.S. soldiers who have lost their lives in and around Afghanistan.\u00a0 The remaining non-combat deaths occurred as a result of accidents, illnesses, drowning, or some other non-combat cause.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
