Subject: MILITARY DEATHS FOR TWENTY YEARS....surprising


Be sure to check out the link to the official CSR Report to Congress--

Very Interesting Indeed.

Bet you didn't know the following!  I surely was not fully aware of all these facts.

        Military losses for 20 years...

        These are some rather eye-opening facts:  Since the start of the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, the sacrifice has been enormous.  In the time period from the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 through now, we have lost over 4000 military personnel to enemy action and accidents.

        As tragic a s the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following statistics - the annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006:

        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&nbs p;        1980 ..........2,392
        1981 ........  2,380
        1984 ......... 1,999
        1988 ......... 1,819
        1989 ......... 1,636
        1990 ......... 1,508
        1991 ..........1,787
        1992 ..........1,293  <------------------------------
        1 993 ..........1,213
        1994 ..........1,075
        1995 ..........2,465
        1996  ........ 2,318        8 Clinton years @ 13,417 deaths
      &n bsp; 1997 ...........  817
        1998 ....... . 2,252
        1999 ......... 1,984   <-----------------------------
        2000 ..........1,983
        2001 ...........  890
        2002 ..........1,007        7 Bush years @ 9,016 deaths
        2003 ......... 1,410
        2004 ......... 1,887
        2005 .........   919
        2006..........   920
        ----------------------------------------------------------

         If you are confused when you look at these figures...so was I.

        Do these figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during Mr. Clinton's  presidency........when America wasn't even involved in a war?

        And, I was even more impressed; when I read that in 1980, during the reign of President (Nobel Peace Prize) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US military fatalities!

        These figures indicate that many of our Media & Politicians pick and choose.  They present only those 'facts' which support their agenda-driven reporting.

        Why do so many of them march in lock-step to twist the truth?

        Where do so many of them get their marching-orde rs for their agenda?

        Our Mainstream print and TV media, and many politicians like to slant; that these brave men and women, who are losing their lives in Iraq, are mostly minorities!  Wrong AGAIN--- just one more media lie!   the latest census, of Americans, shows the following distribution of American citizens, by Race:

         -------------------------------- --------------------------

        European descent (White) ....... 69.12%
        Hispanic ....................................  12.5%
        Black........................................... 12.3%
        Asian .........................................  3.7%
        Native American ................... ... 1 ...0%
        Other .........................................  2.6%

        ----------------------------------------------------------

        Now... here are the fatalities by race; over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom:
        ------------------------------------------------ ----------

        European descent (white) .......     74.31%
        Hispanic ....................................      10.74%
        Black ........................................         9.67%
        Asian ..... ....................................       1.81%
         Native American ....................         1.09%
        Other ........................................         3.3%

        ----------------------------------------------------------
        You do the math!  ; These figures don't lie... but, the liberal media chooses to ignore the facts...and they sway public opinion!  These statistics are published by Congressional Research Service, and they may be confirmed by anyone at:

        http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32492.pdf

        Now ask yourself these two questions:

      'Why does the mainstream print and TV media never print statistics like these?' and 'Why does the m ainstream media hate the web as much as they do?'

      Because the mainstream media is controlled by liberals who have an agenda that is not supported by publication of these facts!

      Bottom Line?  Do your own research and do not be swayed by what you see on TV or read in most newspapers.

      Then, regardless of your party, go to the polls and vote your own conscience!

Do not believe all of the "facts" that you find on the internet.. Even the link posted in the story admits that the data is incorrect

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

The one difference is that we were not at war during the Clinton years and the Carter years and I agree that there is a difference in interpretation of the table used but the point is the media exagerates the military deaths when there is a Rep president and down plays them when there's a Dem president so the unfairness exists in the media.

The USO gave the soliers free cigarettes during world war 2-

It is estimated that since the war - the  nicotine addicted related deaths of the WW 2 US GI s  ( almost 300,000 ) is more than those actually killed in the war-

The Snopers were led away by an FBI SWAT team after the intense shootout

LOS ANGELES - CA - Snopes.com the Urban Legend reference website was raided by the FBI in a massive operation yesterday.



The Urban Legend website that sets to debunk many internet stories was yesterday raided by thousands of FBI agents in a dawn swoop that took the owners by surprise.

The offices for Snopes were housed in a disused warehouse near La Cienega and their location moved every week for the past few years.

"We could not trace where the Snopes people held their servers because they would move them every week. It is very hard for law enforcement to track down and bring to justice such sites," Lieutenant Bill Rapaport told the Daily Squib.

Snopes who have claimed to be the upholders of all truth on the internet are actually a bunch of hoaxers who operate out of disused warehouses. It seems that they played on the fact that most Americans have to have everything explained to them and have no understanding of pathos or rhetoric. Snopes.com has been fooling American internet users for years and exploiting the premise that many of the population are not able to establish fiction from fact.

One distraught web user told the Daily Squib: "I was reading Snopes and the stories I read I assumed were debunked fake stories, but instead they were true stories and I frankly feel slightly cheated."

Sniper Snoper

The owners of the offending website were marched away by a troupe of FBI agents after a protracted gunfight that lasted all of 14 hours. The Snopers even had a sniper rifle and pinned the FBI agents down in their vehicles for two hours. The Snoper gunfire from automatic machine guns then lit the whole neighbourhood up ending in a climax of TNT sticks being lobbed at the hapless agents.

The arrests were the result of a stakeout lasting two weeks and utilising state of the art aerial surveillance drones borrowed from the LAPD.

Chief of Police Dan Arbuthnot III Esq. for La Cienega PDA had this to say today: "We got 'em. It was hard but finally we got these Snopers for good, they won't be out there on the internet claiming to be talking the truth with their propaganda lies. Snope my a**! William Faulkner sure has a lot to answer for."

The above article may not be true but it can sure sway public opinion as for believing everything that Snopes.Com prints I wouldn't believe it unless I could find the facts to back the story myself as Snopes leans a little too far left for me.

There is so much information out there on the 'world wide web' that it is truly hard to believe 100% about anything. But ya know, when that's all ya got...then that's all ya got.

Was the encylopedia slanted in some areas? Aren't the school books slanted in some areas as well? I guess there is no absolute truth to be found anywhere!!

stats and numbers can be used to move the masses to a truth or untruth---just or unjust.....

What's that new commercial say?  90% of statistics can be made to say anything...50% of the time.
