Under Trump, US military deaths in war zones are up
More U.S. troops have died in war zones this year than in 2016 — the first time in six years that the number of service members killed overseas has increased over the previous year — and some blame President Donald Trump's decision to increase American military presence in multiple theaters.
In total, 31 service members have died in action overseas so far this year, up from 26 in all of 2016, according to government data. This does not include the 17 sailors who died in sea accidents this year, Military Times reports.
