Chech out these figures and then ask yourself why these statistics have never been seen or heard anywhere in our media - ever -
Check out the source of the facts as well so you won't think someone made them up - you know the media people havc researched them because they know them to be true, and therefore can't print them or present them on the six o'clock news. Anything that is good for America is good news and there by not printable.
Think about what you read and hear - subject it to common sense and what you know to be true. I always know that if the story is by the Associated Press, it is mostly misinformation - Knight Ridder is no better -
I don't know who compiled these figures but they sure tell a story that is differnet from our socialist friends in the media
Keep the faith, the battle is joined!
MILITARY DEATHS FOR TWENTY YEARS
Ever wonder why you hear only part of the story.In this election year We need to be demanding to hear all of the story if they want to discuss an issue.
Bet you didn't know the following! I surely did not..
These are some rather eye-opening facts:
Since the start of the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan , the sacrifice has been enormous. In the time period from the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 through now, we have lost over 3000 military personnel to enemy action and accidents (accidents that happen also in stateside training, traffic, etc.).
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:
1980 .......... 2,392
1981 ......... 2,380
1984 .......... 1,999
1988 .......... 1,819
1989 ......... 1,636
Stateside mostly
1990 ......... 1,508
1991 .......... 1,787
1992 .......... 1,293
1993 ........ ..1,213
1994 . .........1,075
1995 ...........2,465
1996 ......... 2,318 8 Clinton years @13,417 deaths
1997 .......... 817
1998 ......... 2,252
1999 .......... 1,984
2000 .......... 1,983
2001 ......... 890
2002 .......... 1,007 7 BUSH years @ 9,016 deaths
2003 .......... 1,410
2004 .......... 1,887
2005 ......... 919
2006 .......... 920
If you are confused when you look at these figures...so was I.
Do these figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during Mr. Clinton 's presidency when America wasn't even involved in a war?
And, I was even more confused when I read that in 1980, during the reign of President (Nobel Peace Prize) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US military fatalities!
These figures indicate that many of our Media & Politicians will pick and choose. They present only those 'facts' which support their agenda-driven reporting. Why do so many of them march in lock-step to twist the truth.
Where do so many of them get their marching-orders for their agenda?
Our Mainstream Print and TV media, and many Politicians like to slant that these brave men and women, who are losing their lives in Iraq , are mostly minorities! Wrong AGAIN--- just one more media lie! The latest census, of Americans, shows the following distribution of American citizens, by Race:
European (White) ............... 69.12%
Hispanic ................................ 12.5%
Black..................................... 12.3% (about the same % as in our population)Asian ...................................... 3.7%
Native American ................... 1.0%
Other ...................................... 2.6%
Now... here are the fatalities by Race; over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom:
European descent (white) .....74.31%
Hispanic .................................10.74%
Black ........................................9.67%
Asian .........................................1.81%
Native American ..................... 1.09%
Other .........................................3.30%
These statistics are published by Congressional Research Service, and they may be confirmed by anyone at:
http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32492.pdf (Please look at this report site if you have the chance.) Now ask yourself these two questions:
1. 'Why do the mainstream Print and TV Media never provide these statistics?'
2. 'Why do the mainstream media hate the web as much as they do?'
You do the Math! These figures don't lie... but, Media-liars figure...and they sway public opinion!
