OT More Troop Deaths in peacetime during Clintoon Admin than Iraq war!!!!

You are a riot Scott. Soldiers die every day in training. Only the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan are announced. I'm sure the background deaths are still taking place due to accidents in training. Don't forget the contractors who have replaced soldiers. Make sure you add them in. They are not on the news either.

This NY SUN article is pure bull$hit. The writer is comparing battle deaths in Iraq with army-wide deaths in the Clinton administration years, including vehicle rollovers, drownings, munitions explosions in training, falling down a flight of stairs at Ft. Leonard Wood and perhaps a barracks fire at Ft. Lewis. ( The deaths of 22 Army personnel on an R and R flight from Korea to Japan in 1957 would have counted as part of the total. This has nothing to do with casualties during wartime.)

It would be interesting to know how many troopers suffered fatal injuries around the world for the last four years.

...

I see that you're back to citing crackpot sources.

You're comparing apples and oranges and need to compare those numbers with non-war military deaths during the GW Bush administration, but you don't have the integrity to do that, I'm sure.

Remember that big military operation that ran throughout the Clinton administration, where US and UK military planes patrolled most of Iraq? How many American deaths resulted from that?

NYC owes a lot of gratitude to families all over this country of ours who saw there boys and girls go and not come back. But instead of heartfelt thank you's we get articles like the one above. Shame on you Scott for rubbing this stuff in our face. You are a shallow turd.

He was quoting an article in the NY Sun. He didn't write it. If you don't like it call the Sun up and complain.

Because of the poison that has been spread from day one of the Bush administration this is what you get, retaliatory articles.

Scott's got you buffaloed.

Nobody has me buffaloed.

You can chuckle all you want but I've been following the poison here for the last four years and by far and away the majority of it has come from Bush haters.

So why do you keep perjuring yourself?
