Military deaths under Bush half of amount under Clinton
I received this in an email. I don't know about it's accuracy but after my initial checks I'm sure these numbers are correct.Military deaths under Bush half of amount under Clinton Contrary to popular belief, President Bush's years in office have seen an unusally low number of military deaths. While every life is precious, and any loss of our servicemembers remains unacceptable, it's worth a close look at the numbers: Military losses, 1980 through 2006: 1980 ......... 2,392 1981 ......... 2,380 1984 .......... 1,999 1988 .......... 1,819 1989 .......... 1,636 1990 ......... 1,508 1991 .......... 1,787 1992 .......... 1,293 1993 .......... 1,213 1994 .......... 1,075 1995 .............2,465 1996 ......... 2,318 Clinton years @14,000 deaths 1997 ......... 817 1998 ........ 2,252 1999 ......... 1,984 2000 .......... 1,983 2001 ........ 890 2002 ......... 1,007 2003 ....... 1,410 2004 ......... 1,887 2005 ....... 919 2006.......... 920 Bush years (2001-2006): 7,033 deaths These are numbers you won't read in the mainstream media. Funny how that works... Posted by: Intrinsicpilot 2008-01-14 |
