President Barack Obama has been Commander in Chief for 170 days so far. In that time, 173 soldiers have lost their lives in service to their country (as of this writing).

It’s a sad milestone for a President who has broken his promise to end the war in Iraq, choosing instead to leave at least 50,000 troops behind. See the “Obama Broken Promise on Iraq War # 2” as #107 on the Official Obama Administration Scandals List. In addition to breaking that promise, Obama has carried out his own troop surge (something he was dead set against and said would not work when George W. Bush did it) in Afghanistan and recent military action there is increasing the Obama Death Count. The Obama Troop Surge is #100 on the Official Obama Administration Scandals List.

Our controversial “Obama Death Count” was created to demonstrate the absurdity of the Bush Death Count the left kept while a republican was running the war. To understand why we started the count and why we keep it up, please read the ENTIRE post here and via the links below.

The President passed the one-a-day death toll today when the Department of Defense announced the death of four soldiers who were supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. They died on July 6th in Konduz, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle. Killed were: 2nd Lt. Derwin I. Williams, 41, of Glenwood, Ill. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 106th Cavalry Regiment, Dixon, Ill., Sgt. Brock H. Chavers, 25, of Bulloch, Ga. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment, Americus, Ga., Spc. Chester W. Hosford, 35, of Hastings, Minn. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 106th Cavalry Regiment, Dixon, Ill., and Spc. Issac L. Johnson, 24, of Columbus, Ga. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 108th Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition Squadron, Rome, Ga.

Since then, two more military members have given their lives. The first is Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Darren Ethan Tate, 21, of Canyon, Texas died of non-hostile causes on July 8th at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. He was assigned to the USS Iwo Jima, and deployed as an Individual Augmentee to Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan. The second is Sgt. Michael C. Roy, 25, of North Fort Myers, Fla., died July 8 while supporting combat operations in Nimroz province, Afghanistan. He was assigned to 3d Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Special Operations Advisor Group, Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Camp Lejeune, N.C.
