What if you measure 3 robberies against all stores, or better yet those military lives lost against the entire population of the United States during that time?
but we can’t do that can we? It must be done in such a way as to make the numbers produce a certain negative result, that result being that the loss of these servicemen and women was avoidable, unnecessary and unwarranted.
and these deaths were, just as the previous losses were.
If no one served in the military there would be no deaths in the service, that is a fairly simple equation, but here is an even simpler if they weren’t trying to kill us we wouldn’t be there at all.
Try to remember for once that the people were are fighting against promised us that they would not stop until the streets of our cities were awash in our blood and they killed us all.
Actually if you gather a group of people together a certain percentrage of them will die from accidents. The larger the number of people, the larger the “natural” deaths that are unrelated to actual fighting. Then if you have them engage in military training exercises the death rate will be even greater.
The real information in this thread is included in Post #39 which shows that the military death rate is essentially the same right now with this Iraq war going on (0.12%) than it was in 1980 when there was no major war going on (that I can recall). I’ll defer to you who would know. Interesting. MSM wouldn’t want to expose that would they?
