I think it was on Medved that some guy was blaming bush for the 1000 dead in Iraq in 1 year. Medved said, "actually, it is 1.5 years. Any idea how many troops died in an average 1.5 year periodunder Clinton?"
The caller said "none - 'cuz we weren't at war with anybody".
Medved reminded him of Bosnia, the Cole bombing, Saudi Towers and others (Somalia?), and also of training accidents etc. Anyway - the average under Clinton was 750 troops a died in a year and a half period. Medved went on to say how all of this deaths are tragic and a huge loss - but war and the preperation for war is a dangerous business.
The only "war hero" the Dems and the MSM are concerned about is John effin Kerry.
Any idea how many troops died in an average 1.5 year periodunder Clinton?"
The military averaged 800 active duty deaths annually during Clinton's tenure, mostly from aircraft and training accidents but also from auto accidents and such. The 8700 deceased received far less death benefit under Clinton than what is provided today.
