Interesting military statistics…

Posted on by March 6, 2013

Since I’m on a roll, might as well keep going… Got this today and thought I’d throw it out there. These military losses may surprise you, as they surprise many who haven’t read up on it (probably 90% of the population)!

An informed electorate always makes better decisions. So let’s try to inform as many people as possible.

Just the facts, not trying to be political….

The totals below include 2007 if you add them up under each President, not just 2006.

MilitaryLosses, 1980 thru 2006.


Whatever your politics, however you lean, however you feel about the current administration, this report should open some eyes.

As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following statistics:The annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in thearmed forces from 1980 through 2006:
1980 ……… 2,392 (Carter Year)
1981 …….. 2,380 (Reagan Year)
1984 ……… 1,999 (Reagan Year)
1988 ……… 1,819 (Reagan Year)
1989 …….. 1,636 (George H WE Year)
1990 ……… 1,508 (George HE W Year)
1991 …. …. 1,787 (George H W Year)
1992 ……… 1,293 (George H W Year)
1993 ……… 1,213 (Clinton Year)
1994 ….. … 1,075 (Clinton Year)
1995 ……… 2,465 (Clinton Year)
1996 ……… 2,318 (Clinton Year)
1997 ………… 817 (Clinton Year)
1998 ……… 2,252 (Clinton Year)
1999 ……… 1,984 (Clinton Year)
2000 ……… 1,983 (Clinton Year)
2001 ………. 890 (George W Year)
2002 ……… 1,007 (George W Year)
2003 ……… 1,410 (George W Year)
2004 ……… 1,887 (George W Year)
2005 ……. .. . 919 (George W Year)
2006…….. … 920 (George W Year)
2007…….. .. .899 (George W Year)
Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,000 deaths
George W years (2001-2006): 7,932 deaths

If you are surprised when you look at these figures, I wasn’t, because I lived through them.

These figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in theMiddle East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during Bill Clinton’s presidency when America wasn’t involved in a war!

And, even more shocking in 1980, during the reign of President Jimmy Carter, (Nobel Peace Prize winner), there were 2,392 US military fatalities!

Consider the latest census of Americans.

It shows the following FACTS about the distribution of American citizens, by Race:
European descent ………. …… . 69.12% Hispanic ………. ……… ……… ….12.5% Black………… ……… …………. ….12. 3% Asian ………… ……. ………. …. …. 3.7%
Native American ………… ……….. 1.0% Other ………. …… ………………. …2.6%

Now… here are the fatalities by Race; over the past three years in Iraqi Freedom:
European descent (white) … . 74.31% Hispanic ………… …………. ….. 10.74%
Black …………………. …………… 9.67% Asian ………. ……… ……………. 1.81%
Native American ………. ………. 1.09% Other ………. ……….. …….. ……. 0.33%

It’s all about politics, and some politicians are now famous for turning American against American for a vote.

The Hillary-Obama campaigns say the current administration does not ‘listen’ to anyone and continues the war, costing precious American lives.

The Clinton administration, without having an actual war, sent more soldiers to death than the Bush Administration, in addition, Clinton also forced the military to release Osama Bin Laden when we actually had him detained.

I hope that during the time between now and November, that intelligent Americans can decipher the facts from the spin and the spinners from the leaders; those who seek even more power from those that seek justice, the dividers from the uniters.

Over the next months let’s be good listeners and see and hear who tries to divide our nation; and who wants to unite our nation. Who wants to control how our money is spent and who wants our money spent the way we would spend it. Who seeks power and who seeks justice.

Who spins the facts and who is genuine? YOU decide…

  3. RT- Interesting isn’t it…
    Jeffro- I usually try to post references for just that reason 🙂

  4. These statistics aren’t only interesting they are disturbing. Too bad we will only see them on places like your website because our heavy handed liberal media will never let this side be shown.

    (Sorry about my little guy letting out all the men secrets!)

  5. Deanna- These are the real stats, as you’ve indicated, what we see is the skewed data presented by the MSM. That’s alright on the little one, he doesn’t know any better YET… 🙂

  7. After reviewing the CRS document used, the numbers do not match. Below, in red, are the numbers that are not correct:

    1993 ……… 1,213 (Clinton Year)
    1994 ……… 1,075 (Clinton Year)
    1995 ………. 2,465 (Clinton Year) (actual 1040)
    1996 ………. 2,318 (Clinton Year) (actual 974)
    1997 ………. 817 (Clinton Year)
    1998 ………. 2,252 (Clinton Year) (actual 827)
    1999 ……… 1,984 (Clinton Year) (actual 796)
    2000 ……… 1,983 (Clinton Year) (actual 758)

    Total Should be: 7,500 not 14,000

    2001 ………. 890 (George W Year) (actual 891)
    2002 ……… 1,007 (George W Year) (actual 999)
    2003 ……… 1,410 (George W Year)
    2004 ……… 1,887 (George W Year) (actual 1873)
    2005 ………. 919 (George W Year) (actual 1941)
    2006 ………. 920 (George W Year) (actual 1875)

    Total should be: 8989 not 7932

    Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,000 7500 deaths

    George W. years (2001-2006): 7,932 8989 deaths

    In addition, the total deaths are broken down by cause. In the actual report, the total deaths caused by Hostile Action during the Clinton years is 1 (Yes, 1, as in ONE).

    It’s also worth pointing out that the Clinton timespan is two years longer than the Bush one, and the years 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986 and 1987 are missing from the Reagan years.

    While I agree that the Bush administration has lost a remarkably low number of casualties, considering we’ve been at war throughout, and the Clinton administration lost almost as many in “peace” time, I think the facts need to be truthful.
