This story about how 10 American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan today received only one major newspaper report, the New York Times.
The press have proven what we have been saying for over two years.
The media in this country don't give a damn about our troops overseas in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.
It should be noted also that not a single TV news station reported on this debacle that has taken place on Friday in Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – An Afghan operation to flush out the Taliban and showcase growing military competence has turned into a debacle, with many troops dead or captured and commanders pleading for help, The New York Times reported Friday.
A senior US official with knowledge of the mission -- apparently not coordinated in advance with NATO officers -- said commanders called for backup from foreign forces after at least 10 Afghan soldiers were killed and up to 20 captured since the operation began August 3 in a rugged region east of Kabul.
Fighting has raged so intensely over the past week in the area around Bad Pakh village, in Laghman province, that the Red Cross has been unable to reach the battle zone and evacuate the wounded and dead, the Times reported.
"There are several soldiers unaccounted for and killed," a senior American military official was quoted as saying on condition of anonymity because the operation was ongoing.
He said "about 10" soldiers had been killed.
