Well don't then. From the statistics, it seems clear that non combat deaths have been reduced - likely due to better equipment, better training, better morale, more money provided for maintenance and safety, perhaps higher quality of service member. Comments from service members during the Clinton years reveal that Clinton's "I despise the military!" had an effect on morale and attention to duty. So Clinton and his attitude may have been instrumental in many military deaths.
“From the statistics, it seems clear that non combat deaths have been reduced”
Check the statistics again. The average accidental non-combat deaths under Clinton were 494/year. Under Bush it was 521/year. You theory sounds good, but the numbers clearly don’t support it. The overall non-combat deaths under Clinton were slightly higher, but that was probably due to the larger military. (around 200,000 more)
Even so, this is not a statistic that should be used to evaluate presidents. Neither Clinton or Bush can prevent soldiers from getting cancer, having heart attacks, or dying in car accidents. These numbers are all included in the tables, and are a reflection of the same factors that affect the rest of the population. Some of us are going to die young. Not many, but some. There isn’t a president in the world that can change that fact.
