The War in Iraq: Worse than Vietnam But Not as Bad as the Carter Administration
Not sure what to make of all this data, but I was alerted to it by an e-mail Jonah Goldberg received and posted in The Corner. There's a site that has military statistics including casualties. If you look at data going from 2004 to 1980, the amount of military deaths in each of the past few years were less than that in 1980 (actually, the early eighties were the worst in recent times due to a much higher accident rate). BTW, if you want to compare Vietnam versus the war in Iraq, here's Vietnam military casualties and casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom (and here's from Operation Enduring Freedom just because no one ever brings that one up). And, for historical purposes, here's the official record for all American wars. Make of it what you will. 13 Responses To "The War in Iraq: Worse than Vietnam But Not as Bad as the Carter Administration"
Personally I blame the Bushitler for the high accident rate in the early 80s #1 - Posted by: Brian the Adequate on February 20, 2007 01:40 PMI know that this has nothing to do with the post, but, Frank, are you sure there's no way you could get rid of the dumb liberal shirts they keep showing in those topicads? The one about this being the mexicans homeland is really bugging me. It's so stupid! On topic, this just proves what we already knew - that liberals are dumb, lying, morons who don't know present history from past. #2 - Posted by: LearntoDrawaLine on February 20, 2007 01:52 PMBut the Iraq War has lasted longer than a portion of WW2! Therefore, Bush = Hitler! And you are all gay Nazis! /in case you needed a refresher of the leftard talking points from the previous Iraq War post. #3 - Posted by: Master Shake on February 20, 2007 02:11 PMWhat are you doing posting factual information? It's not like the leftrolls are going to reconcile with the truth. It's not facts that matter; only what Michael Mooer & the new congress tells them. #4 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 20, 2007 02:32 PMInvading Iran is the only way to protect our brave troops. #5 - Posted by: a4g on February 20, 2007 03:16 PMArrrr Facts they be a harsh mistress... #6 - Posted by: Colorado Mike on February 20, 2007 03:45 PMThanks for assembling that. I'd heard the accident rate thing, but nice to see it in black and white in a single, easy to find location. It's obvious to me that the terrorists are unfairly targeting Texans and Californians. And if you look at the Alabama casualties, it would appear that some sort of deal has been made between said terrorists and AL. I bet it involves fungi. #8 - Posted by: Moneyman on February 20, 2007 05:16 PMMoneyman, I don't like what you are insinuating regarding Alabama and Fungi. #9 - Posted by: spacemonkey on February 20, 2007 05:43 PMSpacemonkey, if the morel fits, chances are AL sold it to the terrorists for clemency. #10 - Posted by: DesertElephant on February 20, 2007 06:14 PMIsn't it funny how the liberals, who hold self-esteem (and Jimmy Carter) in such high regard, don't care one iota how much American self-esteem was killed under Carter? #11 - Posted by: bunkerboy on February 20, 2007 07:02 PMSigh...I must remain silent since I reside in Minnesota and we sent a member of the "religion of peace" to congress...(ussjimmycarter tucks tail between legs, rolls over and assumes a submissive posture) #12 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on February 21, 2007 08:43 AMNo less of an embarrassment than Virginia sending an uncivilised boor with no manners to Washington, ussjc. (If you must elect a Donk, VA, at least elect one who knows that spitting tobacco juice on the floor is a no-no) #13 - Posted by: Basilisk on February 21, 2007 11:52 AMPost a comment
