War Casualty Statistics
This list came to me in my email. Quentin
War Casualty Stats
You will be surprised
Why has the media not complained before the Iraq war? These are
some rather eye-opening facts:
As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is,
consider the following statistics:
Annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the
armed forces from 1980 through 2004:
1980 .......... 2,392
1981 .......... 2,380
1982 .......... 2,318
1983 .......... 2,465
1984 .......... 1,999
1985 .......... 2,252
1986 .......... 1,984
1987 .......... 1,983
1988 .......... 1,819
1989 .......... 1,636
1990 .......... 1,508
1991 .......... 1,787
1992 .......... 1,293
1993 .......... 1,213
1994 .......... 1,075
1995 .......... 1,040
1996 ............ 974
1997 .... ....... 817
1998 ............ 826
1999 ............ 795
2000 ........... 774
2001 ............ 890
2002 .......... 1007
2003 ......... 1,410 ----- 534*
2004 . .........1,887 ----- 900*
2005 ............ 919*
2006 ........... 920*
* Figures are Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom
fatalities only
Does this really mean that the loss from the two current conflicts in
the Middle East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during
Mr. Clinton's presidency? Were we at war?
Now, are you confused when you look at these figures?
Especially look at 1980, during the reign of President "Nobel Peace
Prize, Jimmy Carter" himself, there were 2,392 US military fatalities.
What this clearly indicates is that our media and our liberal
politicians pick and choo se, and they tend to present only those
facts that support their agenda driven reporting.
Another fact our left media and politicians like to slant is that
these brave men and women losing their lives are minorities.
Wrong again - The latest census shows the following:
European descent (white) . 69.12%
Hispanic ....................... 12.5%
African American ............ 12.3%
Asian .............................. 3.7%
Native American ............... 1.0%
Other ............................... 2.6%
Now, the fatalities over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom are:
European descent (white) .. 74.31%
Hispanic .......................... 10.74%
African American ..... ..........9.67%
Asian ................................ 1.81%
Native American ... ............. 1.09%
Other ................................. 2. 33%
These statistics are published by DOD and may be viewed there. (Try www.dod.gov)
