    Deaths per President

    Military Losses, 1980 thru 2007
    Whatever your politics, however you lean, and however you feel about the
    current administration, this report should open some eyes. Military losses,
    1980 through 2007.
    As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the
    following statistics: The annual fatalities of military members while
    actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006 - by any cause.
    1980 .......... 2,392 (Carter Year)
    1981 .......... 2,380 (Reagan Year)
    1984 .......... 1,999 (Reagan Year)
    1988 .......... 1,819 (Reagan Year)
    1989 .......... 1,636 (George H W Year)
    1990 ... 1,508 (George H W Year)
    1991 .......... 1,787 (George H W Year)
    1992 .......... 1,293 (George H W Year)
    1993 .......... 1,213 (Clinton Year)
    1994 .......... 1,075 (Clinton Year)
    1995 ...........2,465 (Clinton Year)
    1996 .......... 2,318 (Clinton Year)
    1997 ..............817 (Clinton Year)
    1998 .......... 2,252 (Clinton Year)
    1999 .......... 1,984 (Clinton Year)
    2000 .......... 1,983 (Clinton Year)
    2001 .......... ...890 (George W Year)
    2002 ...........1,007 (George W Year)
    2003 .......... 1,410 (George W Year)
    2004 .......... 1,887 (George W Year)
    2005 ............. 919 (George W Year)
    2006.............. 920 (George W Year)
    2007.............. 899 (George W Year)

    Totals: Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,107 deaths George W years (2001-2007):
    7,932 deaths

    If you are surprised when you look at these figures, so was I. These figures
    mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS
    than the loss of military personnel during Bill Clinton's presidency; when
    America wasn't even involved in a war!
    (Unless you include Bosnia or the disgrace of Mogadishu, Somalia when
    Clinton
    failed to respond to terrorists; Remember 'Blackhawk Down'?) And, I was even
    more shocked when I read that in 1980, during the reign of President (Nobel
    Peace Prize winner) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US military fatalities!
    >From what? How?

    I think that these figures indicate that many members of our Media and our
    Politicians will pick and choose the information on which they report. Of
    course we all know that they present only those 'facts' which support their
    agenda-driven reporting. But why do so many of them march in lock-step to
    twist the truth? Where do so many of them get their agenda? Obviously there
    is one shared agenda. Could it be from the most powerful Democratic family
    of
    the decade?

    Do you want further proof? Consider the latest census of Americans. It shows
    the following FACTS about the distribution of American citizens, by race:
    European descent ........................ 69.12%
    Hispanic....................................... 12.5%
    Black........................................... 12.3%
    Asian............................................. 3.7%
    Native American. ......................... 1.0%
    Other.............................................. 2.6%

    Many media lead us to feel the military death ratio is off balanced compared
    to the distribution by race in American. Here are the fatalities by RACE
    over
    the past three years in Iraqi Freedom. Do the comparison yourself.
    European descent (white)............ 74.31%
    Hispanic.................................... 10.74%
    Black.............. ................... 9.67%
    Asian.......................................... 1.81%
    Native American....... ........... 1.09%
    Other........................................... 0.33%

    I was surprised again. Our mainstream media continues to spin these figures
    (for political gain). Nothing more. It's all about politics.

    I hope that during the time between now and November, intelligent Americans
    can decipher: the facts from the spin, the spinners from the leaders, those
    who seek even more power from those that seek justice, and the dividers from
    the uniters. Over the next months let's be good listeners and see and hear
    who tries to divide our nation; and who wants to unite our nation. Who wants
    to control how our money is spent and who wants our money spent the way we
    would spend it. Who seeks power and who seeks justice? Who spins the facts
    and who is genuine.

    These statistics are published by Congressional Research Service, and they
    may be confirmed by anyone at:

    SEEMS TO ME THAT MORE OF OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN DIE UNDER DEMS THEN REPS....PERHAPS THAT'S BECAUSE THE REPS DON'T HANDCUFF OUR TROOPS AND STIP OUR MILITARY BARE.

    Hey Sgt,

    According to your source the math doesn't add up for the Clinton and Bush years. In fact it's almost opposite. Do you have an additional source?

    Crap I posted the wrong page to read. This was a school 4 person group project and the person who was typing it up Fd it up and we had to go back and re type it. I wasn't quite sure how they managed to F it up but my bad for posting the wrong one. The facts page to my knowledge is correct. That is what myself and another student were able to find. I Just found it interesting. So if anybody knows how to delete this so i could post the correct one that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
