A nearly seven-year-old report shows that the deaths of US soldiers in Afghanistan from 2000 through 2014 were overwhelmingly white males.
According to data compiled by the Congressional Research Service, 85 percent of American deaths during the first phase of the War in Afghanistan—Operation Enduring Freedom, which technically lasted from October 2001 to December 2014—were white. That’s 1,995 whites out of 2,346 total deaths.
Blacks/African Americans accounted for 191 deaths, or 8.1 percent of total deaths, which was second most among all racial groups. American Indians, Pacific Islanders, and those of multiple races combined saw 130 deaths, or 5.5 percent of the total.
