U.S. military fatalities in Iraq continued to drop

While we stand in awe of the willingness of our troops in Iraq to sacrifice themselves for the Nation, the fewer that are required to do so, the better. And the news on that front is good. As can be seen in the chart below, our military deaths are down over 80% (82%) from May's peak this year of 126. What is no unquestionable a trend (with future fluctuations of course), reflects a tremendous achievement on the part of General Petraeus, since this is the result not of retreating from our objectives in Iraq but of advancing toward them - of executing the mission.
