Military Casualties

The soldier killed in Afghanistan on Monday has been identified as Army Sgt. 1st Class Jeremy Griffin.

The news of this latest American casualty comes after peace negotiations broke down a week ago.

Pfc. Mason Webber, a 22-year-old from Marion, Iowa, died Thursday, according to the release.

Sgt. 1st Class Elis A. Barreto Ortiz, 34, was killed in action when the explosive device detonated near his vehicle.

The death of another U.S. service member could be used to argue that it is long past time to bring U.S. troops home.

Master Sgt. Luis DeLeon-Figueroa was killed Aug. 21 as a result of small arms fire in Faryab Province.

Resolute Support officials said one of the military members was from the United States and the other was from Romania.

It's the deadliest year for U.S. troops in Afghanistan since 2014.

He had hoped to become a Marine aviation mechanic.

Master Sgts. Luis F. Deleon-Figueroa, 31, and Jose J. Gonzalez, 35, died in combat in Faryab province, Afghanistan.
