In this Thursday, June 21, 2012 file photo, Afghans offer prayers over the covered coffins of suicide attack victims during their burial ceremony in Khost, Afghanistan. It was once President Barack Obama's "war of necessity." Now, it's America's forgotten war. The Afghan conflict generates barely a whisper on the U.S. presidential campaign trail. It's not a hot topic at the office water cooler or in the halls of Congress _ even though 88,000 American troops are still fighting here and dying at a rate of one a day.
