Sirandlil1 -> Where are you safer? (1/27/2008 11:53:31 AM)

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. Involvement in
Iraq, here is a sobering statistic:
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 40 months, and a total of 3,567 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 25% more likely to be
shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.
Obvious Conclusion : The U.S. should pull out of Washington.
