The graph is titled: US Military Fatalities Yearly Averages. One of the data points is titled Clinton Presidency and (I assume) is in fact total US military fatalities, while the other data point is titled Iraq War and is approximately correct for only Iraq war fatalities. It is duplicitous to argue that the later data point is compatible with the graph heading, but aside from that, who in their right mind would try to draw any conclusion from these two odd pieces of data? What for example are you trying to deduce from them? Why not say compare Navy deaths in the Iraq war to total deaths under Clinton, that would look even more startling, and would be equally irrelevant. Or compare say Iraq war deaths to the far higher gun related murder deaths in the USA, and come to the clever conclusion that we should ban guns?
