The US has been fighting the War on Terror for over 5 years and has lost just over half the soldiers in battle as the Clinton Administration was losing during peacetime in 8 years.Some of the data is presented in some funny ways, but there are some interesting views.
One thing is that the deaths are skewed. From what I can tell, the military deaths for the George W. Bush administration do not included deaths outside of the Iraqi or Afghan theaters, while the Clinton years do.
I wonder what the scale looks like when all military deaths are included.
This is not to say that the price is too high. One death is a high price, but freedom and security are too--that is why we elect leaders to make these decisions.
