The U.S. should pull out of Washington

Regardless of where you stand on the issue ofthe U.S. Involvement in Iraq , here is a sobering statistic:

There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 40 months and atotal of 3,567 deaths.

That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. Is80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period.

That means that you are about25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq .Obvious Conclusion:

The U.S. should pull out of Washington
