The Death of Perception ( this will piss off some libs)
Here is a chart showing the number of deaths of military personnel by administration, Clinton V. Bush.
Here is a chart showing the number of deaths of military personnel by administration, Clinton V. Bush.
A very pretty chart that substantiates nothing. Where did this data come from? What is the explanation for the higher death rates under Clinton? Hey, I despise Bill Clinton and am very willing to believe almost anything negative I hear about him, but unless I’m missing something obvious to everyone else, this is really weak.
While it’s true there were more war deaths in the Clinton years than the GWB years (govt link: ) .. the Clinton number seems to be inflated in the chart that you linked to.
Le Patriot, a parenthesis got stuck on the end of your link. Here is a version that should work (warning: the link will cause you to download a .pdf).
There’s a list of U.S. active duty military deaths in Table 4, which is page 10 of the .pdf. Adding up the numbers, I get 7500 deaths in eight years of the Clinton administration, and 8792 deaths in the first six years of the Bush administration.
The table on the following page lists causes of death. If I lump together deaths due to hostile action and deaths due to terrorists attacks, and consider the sum to be war deaths, I get 76 deaths in the eight years of the Clinton administration, and 2651 deaths in the first six years of the Bush administration.
How did you compute more war deaths in the Clinton years than in the Bush years?
