I wasn't aware of this before - "In the space of one year - 1972, at the height of 'the Troubles' - the IRA killed more than twice the number of British military and police personnel as Iraqis have killed over three years." spiked-online.com Of course the Americans have much higher casualties in Iraq than the British, and the Iraqi army and police were even higher. But I hadn't realized that British deaths in the Falklands where much higher than in Iraq, or that British casualties in Iraq where only a small fraction of the military and police casualties in "the Troubles".
