You OBVIOUSLY don't read critically, do you? 120 divided by 5 years is...drum roll................24 per year.

Let me explain to you, o wise one, how it is. In 2005, the murder rate in the US was 5.6 victims per 100,000. There are 150k soldiers in Iraq....according to the 2005 statistic, that should result in a murder rate of 8.4 victims per year. Instead ,we are seeing a rate that is 24 per year. Even if we allow for turnover as some soldiers go back to the US for R and R and increase their numbers to 250K.....the murder should only increase to around 14 per year. Instead, the American soldier is murdering at a rate almost double the norm.

Do you have a single clue of how many people are killed every year by slob murderers who NEVER were in the military even just here in the US BY State in just one year?

No, I didn't think you did.

Apparently, its you all who are the ones factually challenged. If only we could get the Aussies to take you in and have you settle the Outback. Unfortunately, they are not that stupid.
