Interesting thought for the day

[Lestat]

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C

It might be our nations capital, but it is one fucked up place. I never could "get" how such economic disadvantaged criminally inept people were allowed to move into that area.

Repost. See my thread from 3 weeks or so ago!

what about the 52,000 injuries such as lost limbs?

I cannot see gangbangers in D.C. setting off IED's.

One of my Dad's friends has two giant holes in his head. You could fit your fist in his holes.

100 guys from my Dad's unit are being deployed for convoy duty. These are engineers, not infantry. Most of these guys have never fired a weapon outside of a training range.
