The stats below by no means minimize the loss of those who are
represented
by the figures. But they are interesting...
Check out the .pdf file at bottom.
Below is some very interesting data referencing deaths in the
military. I
guarantee you will not read this in your local newspaper nor will
you see
it on the daily news broadcast. I pray this will encourage you to
enlighten
folks around you to the brave and courageous young people serving in our
military.

Figures so noted with an asterisk (*) indicates deaths as a result of
Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
You may initially feel confused when you look at these figures
--especially
when you see that in 1980, during the term of President Jimmy
Carter, there
were 2,392 US military fatalities.
What this clearly indicates is that our media and our liberal
politicians
pick and choose and tend to present only those facts that support their
agenda driven reporting.
Another fact our leftist media and politicians like to slant is that
these
brave men and women losing their lives are minorities. Wrong again - The
latest census shows the following:
European descent (white) ..... 69.12%
Hispanic .... 12.5%
African America....12.3%
Asian ..... 3.7%
Native American .... 1.0%
Other ....2.6%
The fatalities over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom are:
European descent (white) .... 74.31%
Hispanic ..... 10.74%
African -American... 9.67%
Asian ..... 1.81% Native American .... 1.09%
Other ....2.33%
