Dear Ibrahim Al Copti

The content of (several versions of) your post has circulated through chat forums and emails and has been throughly debunked as a hoax.

You can see a summary of the debunking at http://urbanlegends.about.com/librar...ary_deaths.htm
.

For accurate statistics, which refute the theses that 1. There were more military (Active Duty) active duty deaths during the Clinton years than the Bush-43 years and 2. That the media has tried to obscure these figures, I refer you to the actual Congressional Research Service Report, reffered to in your post, hosted at a site run by the United States Air Force, at http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/crs/rl32492.pdf. Table 4 on page 10 lists the number of deaths of AD servicemen, table 5 on page 11 further segregates the data by cause of death, including hostile action, homicide, accidents and self inflicted injury.

I also refer you to the original source of Table 5's data hosted on a website run by the Office of the Secretary of Defense at http://siadapp.dmdc.osd.mil/personne...ath_Rates1.pdf


Hope that helps clear up the confusion mate, and apologies for the bad formatting of this post, I'm new to this forum.
