In this Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012 file photo, Afghans carry a wounded woman from the scene of an explosion in Herat, west of Kabul, 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.
