A friend of mine forwarded this to me...thought I'd share it.....
According to the site icasualties.org, there have
been 88 hostile fire deaths caused by firearms since
the beginning of hostilities in Iraq. The remainder
of coalition deaths have been due to explosives or
accidents.
Considering that there have been on average 160,000
troops in theater during the last 22 months, there
has been a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The firearm death rate in Washington DC is 80.6 per
100,000. What this means is that you are more likely
to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capital, which
has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation,
than in Iraq.
The conclusion?
The U.S. should _immediately_ pull out of WASHINGTON, DC!!
