Not that anyone in Washington cares . .

A bomb killed a U.S. servicemember Monday in southern Afghanistan, NATO said.

The American death toll has been rising as fighting escalates with an influx of 37,000 additional U.S. and NATO forces being sent to Afghanistan as part of President Obama's war strategy.

At least 29 U.S. troops died in January, more than double the 14 deaths recorded in the same month last year. That made it the deadliest month since November, when 30 died.
