Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq, here’s a sobering statistic.
?
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths.
?
That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
?
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons?? for the same period.
?
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.
?
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington
I received this from a family member and thought it was too “on target” to not share.
