Are you still having issues with how usenet works and the normal

Wingnut John's crying about his sandbox. Awwwwwwwwwwww.

This is probably another of John Herring's faked IDs. Herring is
obsessed with me.
Keep telling yourself that you narcissistic asshole. Maybe your
x-posted buddies would enjoy a list of your many bizarre lies you posted
to rec-boats?
Mindless conservatrasher...

Whatever your politics, however you lean and however you feel about
the current administration, this report is interesting.

As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is,
consider the below statistics:
The annual fatalities, by any cause, of military members while
actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006:
1980 2,392 (Carter)
1981 2,380 (Reagan)
1984 1,999 (Reagan)
1988 1,819 (Reagan)
1989 1,636 (George H W)
1990 1,508 (George H W)
1991 1,787 (George H W)
1992 1,293 (George H W)
1993 1,213 (Clinton)
1994 1, 075 (Clinton)
1995 2,465 (Clinton)
1996 2,318 (Clinton)
1997 817 (Clinton)
1998 2,252 (Clinton)
1999 1,984 (Clinton)
2000 1,983 (Clinton)
2001 890 (George W)
2002 1,007 (George W)
2003 1,410 (George W)
2004 1,887 (George W)
2005 919 (George W)
2006 920 (George W)
2007 899 (George W)

Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,107 deaths
George W years (2001-2007): 7,932 deaths

Are you surprised when you look at these figures? They indicate the
loss from the two latest Middle East conflicts are less than the loss
of military personnel during Clinton 's presidency when America wasn't
even involved in a war--unless you include Bosnia and Mogadishu,
Somalia. (Remember “Blackhawk Down“?) Even more surprising is that in
1980,20during Carter presidency, there were 2,392 US military
fatalities!

These figures appear to indicate many members of our media and
politicians pick and choose the information on which they report--that
they present only those “facts” that support their agenda.
Consid er the latest census of Americans. It shows the following
distribution of American citizens by race:

European descent 69.12 percent
Hispanic 12.50 percent
Black 12.30 percent
Asian 3.70 percent
Native American 1.00 percent
Other 2.60 percent

Many members of the media lead us to believe the military death ratio
is off balanced compared to the distribution by race in America. Here
are the fatalities by race over the past three yea rs in Iraqi
Freedom.
European descent 74.31 percent
Hispanic 10.74 percent
Black & nbsp; &n bsp; 9.67 percent
Asian 1.81 percent
Native American 1.09 percent
Other 0.33 percent

Surprised again?
Hopefully, during the time between now and November, intelligent
Americans can decipher--

the facts from the spin.
the spinners from the leaders.
those who seek even more power from those that seek justice.
the dividers from the uniters.

These statistics=2 0are published by the Congressional Research
Service and may be confirmed at:

Gunner, I hate to dispute you, but Snopes says this is false info:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/deaths.asp

But there is a valid point that, despite a hot war on 2 fronts, military
losses are not that much higher than in peacetime.
