A roadside bomb over the weekend killed an American soldier, marking the 301st death in Afghanistan during 2009. This has by far been the bloodiest year of the war- in 2008, by comparison, 155 Americans were killed in combat. Expect death totals to continue climbing during the surge, especially as more dangerous combat missions are ordered.
