Military deaths under Bush half of amount under Clinton
2008-01-14
I received this in an email. I don't know about it's accuracy but after my initial checks I'm sure these numbers are correct.

Military deaths under Bush half of amount under Clinton

Contrary to popular belief, President Bush's years in office have seen an unusally low number of military deaths.

While every life is precious, and any loss of our servicemembers remains unacceptable, it's worth a close look at the numbers:

Military losses, 1980 through 2006:

1980 ......... 2,392
1981 ......... 2,380
1984 .......... 1,999
1988 .......... 1,819
1989 .......... 1,636
1990 ......... 1,508
1991 .......... 1,787
1992 .......... 1,293
1993 .......... 1,213
1994 .......... 1,075
1995 .............2,465
1996 ......... 2,318 Clinton years @14,000 deaths
1997 ......... 817
1998 ........ 2,252
1999 ......... 1,984
2000 .......... 1,983
2001 ........ 890
2002 ......... 1,007
2003 ....... 1,410
2004 ......... 1,887
2005 ....... 919
2006.......... 920 Bush years (2001-2006): 7,033 deaths

These are numbers you won't read in the mainstream media. Funny how that works...
