US Military Deaths for past twenty years
The following information is
very informative and something I had not seen before.
The figures are found in a publication by the Congressional Research
Service and was prepared for Congress in 2007.
The figures are extremely interesting when compared to general public
opinions we many have.
MILITARY DEATHS FOR TWENTY
YEARS
Bet you didn't know the
following! I surely was not fully aware of all these facts.
Military losses for 20 years
These are some rather
eye-opening facts: Since the start of the war on terror in
Iraq and
Afghanistan , the sacrifice has been enormous. In the time period
from the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 through now, we have lost over 3000
military personnel to enemy action and accidents.
As tragic as the loss of any
member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following statistics: The
annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the armed
forces from 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 @ 13,417 deaths
1997 ......... 817
1998 ........ 2,252
1999 ......... 1,984 ..........................................
2000 ..........1,983
2001 ......... 890
2002 .......... 1,007 7 BUSH years @ 9,016 deaths
2003 .......... 1,410
2004 ......... 1,887
2005 ........ 919
2006.......... 920

If you are confused when you
look at these figures...so was I
Do these figures mean that the
loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS than the loss
of military personnel during Mr. Clinton's presidency; when America wasn't
even involved in a war?
And, I was even more
impressed; when I read that in 1980, during the reign of President (Nobel
Peace Prize)
Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US military fatalities!
These figures indicate that
many of our Media & Politicians pick and choose. They present only those
"facts" which support their agenda-driven reporting.
Why do so many of them march
in lock-step to twist the truth.
Where do so many of them get
their marching-orders for their agenda?
Our Mainstream Print and TV
media, and many Politicians like to slant; that these brave men and women,
who are losing their lives in
Iraq , are mostly minorities! Wrong AGAIN --- just one more media
lie!
The latest census, of Americans, shows the following distribution
of American citizens, by Race:
----------------------------------------------------------
European descent (White) ....... 69.12%
Hispanic ............................. 12.5%
Black.................................. 12.3%
Asian ................................... 3.7%
Native American .................. 1.0%
Other .................................... 2.6%
----------------------------------------------------------
Now.. here are the fatalities by Race; over the past three years in Iraqi
Freedom:
----------------------------------------------------------
European descent (white) ..... 74.31%
Hispanic ........................... 10.74%
Black ................................. 9.67%
Asian .............................. 1.81%
Native American ................. 1.09%
Other .................................. 33%
----------------------------------------------------------
You do the Math! These figures
don't lie... but, the liberal Media chooses to ignore the facts...and they
sway public opinion! (These statistics are published by Congressional
Research Service, and they may be confirmed by anyone at:
http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32492.pdf
Now ask yourself these two
questions:
"Why does the mainstream Print and TV Media never print statistics like
these?" and "Why do the mainstream media hate the web as much as they do?"
Because the mainstream media is controlled by Liberals who have an agenda
that is not supported by publication of these facts.
Bottom Line?
Do your own research and do not be swayed by what you see on TV or read in
most newspapers.
