Don't worry. As soon as we have a Republican president the newspapers will go back to having a box with a number in it up in the corner of the front page and the caption, "War on Terror: US Military Casualties to Date", like they did all through the Bush years.
U.S. Casualties in Afghanistan under:
Bush - 641 (7 years, 4 months)
Obama - 789 (2 years, 2 months)
Let them.
