“Some people perhaps didn’t go to college or are not too bright on math and statistics.”

Given that I could have minored in Mathematics by the time I was a junior and your horriibly flawed arguments regarding this piece, I feel very comfortable in saying you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

This sentence is meaningless unless we know the RATE of people who didn't go to college or blah blah blah...

You seem awfully defensive for some reason. No problem. Not everyone understands that quoting military deaths over time without regard for the base is not an accurate comparison. That’s like quoting gasoline prices over time without factoring in inflation. Or quoting stock price rises and falls without factoring in the base and computing a percentage up or down which is the relevant point.

The fact you choose to get so emotional and hostile over such a silly thing is bizarre but not unheard of on this forum. Have a wonderful day.
