I didn't even look at the first four Bush years since that wasn't part of the conversation, or whatever it was I was having, and I was not discussing them, and I'm kind of burned out on the whole thing now.

Looking at column 5(Total military FTE)and columns 6 and 8+13 I find the following averages. averages for:......Total MFTE...total deaths..total hos+terror From 1993 to 2000: 1630618.3.... 937,5 ........ 9,5 From 2001 to 2004: 1655946,5....1296,8 .......289,3 deaths due to illness From 1993 to 2000:.........175 From 2001 to 2004:.........214,5 If one subtracts the averages for total hostile+terrorist from total deaths then there is an 11% increase during the first 4 years of Bush II. What really stands out is that the downward trend established during the 8 Clinton years in accidental deaths was reversed during the first 4 Bush II years. As to your last comment: "It's that we took casulties and our leaders didn't fight back. So you see deaths from terrorist attack not accompanied or directly followed by hostile actions. That's opposed to the reason why you have a military in the first place." You read the table as the devil reads the bible.
