8. remarkably steady, over time. Perhaps a gradual increase in
rate of deaths.

For every death, how many are coming home without limbs, or with significant psychological problems? 10? 20?

9. And what about people of other nationalities who have died?
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 04:10 PM by Meritaten1
The deaths of military personnel from other countries, the Iraqi civilians, the accidental deaths not counted as military losses...That figure doesn't even include the casualties and the people who have suffered as a consequence of loved ones dying.

What a tragic loss.

10. A little relative comparison to Vietnam . .






Note that this site not unbiased, but the numbers shown here are correct. Not to say that they will follow the same path, but just a comparative view by the relative time frame.

11. Sorry - I'm missing what's special about it.....
To me it shows that we've lost troops at an approximately constant rate for the last couple'a years... What else am I supposed to be seeing?

13. Read graphs much?
I believe 'slope' is taught in junior high school. It's not a trivial factor. The slope (rate of death) increased precipitouslly after the election. Indeed, the rate of change of the slope shows acceleration, not deceleration.

As a former high school math teacher, I'd recommend a refresher course.

17. You Didn't Like Math Much... Did You ???
That, or you don't believe in science.

Please explain... what do you find difficult to understand here?

:shrug:

I'll try to leave alone, that the graph represents a special person (many special people), forever gone to the planet and those that loved them. I'll also leave alone how many 'special' people we have here in this once great country, that would allow a chickenshit chickenhawk dullard of a human bei... scratch that...

a pustule on the butt of humanity to be re-inserted into a position of power, that forsakes the lives even of those that voted FOR him, while at the same time demeaning and endangering the lives of us all.

Now... ain't THAT "special"???

:puke:

19. WillyT
Can I get a link to the page that graph is on? Sorry, I know it says it right on the graph, but typing in that URL is not working for me. Maybe I'm misreading a letter?

Thanks.
