All Active military deaths during the clinton administation averaged 938 deaths per year.
All Active military deaths during the Bush administration (up to 2006, as the 2007 numbers are not conclusive yet), including deaths from war, averaged 1465 deaths per year.
So, the death rate hasn't even doubled from 'peacetime' to wartime.
Does this put things in perspective for any of you, who are complaining that we need to pull our troops home because of the "high" death numbers?
