You will never see this in the newspaper, or hear it from a liberal.
THIS REPORT HAS BEEN VERIFIED AS CORRECT

- 1980 ........ 2,392

- 1986 .........1,984

- 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 left 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 American 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%
- These statistics are published by DOD and may be
