Passed as received. This ignores the count of wounded (much higher than in earlier wars as we save lives on the battlefield) but it's still funny ...
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per l00,000. The rate in Washington, D.C. is 80.6 per l00,000. That means that you are about 25% 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 you have in Iraq.

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