interesting stats

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in

Iraq, here's a sobering statistic:

 

There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre

of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths.

That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

 

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons

for the same period.

 

That means that you are about 20% more likely to be shot and killed in

the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.

 

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington
