Thought for Today Iraq, or D.C.?

From Kiwi-Too at Unto the Breach:

Thought for the day:

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in theater in Iraq during the last 22 months, and with the number of deaths, that gives a firearms death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000. scared.gif

That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

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