Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) is the war in Afghanistan.
Note: By the way, the very low percentage for Hispanics has me worried that the military might be counting Hispanics different from the way most of the federal government counts Hispanics, rather like lots of police departments are out of sync with the now standard way which is to treat Hispanic ethnicity as overruling race. Maybe the military is only counting as Hispanic people who don’t put down a different race such as white or black?
So that 85% white figure might include some Hispanics who identify as racially white.
Also, men did 97.9% of the dying for the U.S. in Afghanistan.
In Iraq, whites made up 82.6% of the dead American soldiers:

More contractors than military personnel died in Afghanistan.

In Korean thing, my unit had 750 flight crew members...ONE MAN WAS BLACK, JUST ONE.

I had a State transport driver who was at a hot air balloon festival in Joplin.
They were giving helicopter rides for $50 during the festival.
He told me he was sitting in a porta john and a helicopter flew overhead. He said, "For a moment I thought I was back in Afghanistan."
Holy flashbacks, Batman. ;)
