War casualty stats for US Military

The Link



See page 10.....7500 personnel were killed/died during Clinton's 8 years of "peacetime" vs 7200 during 7 years of warfare under GWB.....can that be right?

About 16,000 killed/died during the Reagan years

This can't be true, I have been told every night what a horror the war is by the media and the repeated comparisons to vietnam. but, keep in mind that there have been thousands more wounded. our surgical teams in iraq are awesome. i want out of iraq because of the cost.

Any large grouping of people will have deaths related to accidents, suicide and illness. It appears that this is a list of people who died while on active duty and includes things like soldiers who died driving home drunk while on leave and soldiers who died of cancer and heart attacks and so on.

Nice try guys. Put up Clinton's number of soldiers who died doing anything against Bush's soldiers who died in war. FWIW, 8792 soldiers have died during Bush's tenure. This doesn't include 2007 or 2008.

Also, you fail to point out the fact that accidental deaths decreased significantly during Clinton. Really, did you expect people to not read the link?
