Thats not what Kenny wrote dipshit.

when British forces occupied Iraq against an insurgency, the ratio of foreign forces to Iraqis was 23 to 1. Today, it is about 174 to 1.

What number is larger retard, 174/1 or 23/1? Cross multiply if you have to dipshit and you will see that 174 is a larger number and larger fraction. To get to 23/1, guess what, you have to subtract.

Do you have any idea how many troops would be required for a ratio of 174 soldiers per each Iraqi? Lets say there are 80 million Iraqis. That would require 174 X 80 million Iraqis in troops.

Actually, it is you who has no idea. You think that, to go from 174-1 (soldiers to people) to 23-1, one has to subtract troops, not add more.

LOL! Absolutely correct! You're the dimwit! Now tell me that entire statement is a "typo"!
