Perspective 101 for Defeatists

A couple of weeks ago I posted this chart, from the active-duty service members' petition, the Appeal For Courage. It contrasts monthly deaths in Iraq with those during Vietnam. My son, an engineering student at RIT and always interested in hard data, suggested adding the monthly deaths from World War II to the chart. Unfortunately, while I was able to locate total casualty figures, no one seems to have broken them out by month. Perhaps the journalists of the time were less interested in destroying the American public's morale than they are now.

Thus, I've been forced to add a monthly average. 405,399 total American deaths average to 9009 per month for the 45 months that the US was involved in WWII combat operations.

This is how it compares to the wars in Vietnam and Iraq.

1 I will make this short and sweet.

Leftist are feminine, they go by feelings, facts don't matter.

Conservatives are  masculine, they go by facts.

Any questions?

3  B,
 
Nowhere near as fucking stupid as you obviously are. Why dont you go back to DKos and defend the poor oppresed muslims some more. Or better yet why dont you go find a muslim suicide bomber and give him a big hug as he is blowing himself you and whoever else is close right to hell.
