I received an interesting email from a friend....I've not been able to check the veracity of the data...
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112
deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same
period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital,
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington .
On another note....and before anyone starts bashing me...this is a funny someone sent to me...
Ever wonder how Irish dancing started?
