Thought for the day.
| Passed as received. This ignores the count of wounded (much higher than in earlier wars as we save lives on the battlefield) but it's still funny ... |
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per l00,000. The rate in Washington, D.C. is 80.6 per l00,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you have in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C.
