June is Deadliest Month for NATO Occupation in Afghan War
---------------------------------------------------------



Mc Chrystal’s firing comes just as June has become the deadliest month
for the US-led NATO occupation force in Afghanistan since the invasion
nearly nine years ago. The Associated Press reports seventy-nine
international troops have died this month, including forty-six
Americans. The toll surpasses the previous monthly high of seventy-five
troop deaths in July 2009.
