what is amazing is that under clinton, there were 8,033 military deaths, under bush, counting the casualties of war, there were 7,803


Also I can’t remember a single newscast during the Clinton years that started off each and every time telling us how many died today or yesterday. I don’t remember seeing stats every month like we do today. I don’t remember hearing the count, to date, who died in the Serbian conflict. I don’t remember hearing newscasters daily feeding us negatives like they do now.

There were no US soldiers killed in the Serbian conflict, which might explain why you didn’t hear about it. You seem to not understand that these non-combat related deaths are the same as deaths in any other population. Illnesses, accidents and suicides would not be in the news, because they happen every day, and there are way too many to record.

it was more dangerous to be associated with president clinton than it is to be in iraq
