I was responding to the comment about between the Bush and Clinton years, not back to 1980. However, if you take into account there were 2.1 million military in 1980, and 1.6 million in 2006, that explains part of the apparent difference. There have also been a lot of medical advances in the past 25 years which account for another part of the difference.
My point was that there isn’t any way that any president can prevent people from dying in accidents or from illnesses. If there was, then I would think he/she would have a pretty good case for becoming and remaining president forever.
