Using the logic of the Democrats, we should pull out of Washington D.C. because it is too dangerous for Americans to stay there.
“In the Iraq theater of operations, there has been an average of 160,000 troops during the last 22 months with a total of 2,112 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 prorated for the time factor. Analogously, the rate in Washington, D.C., is 80.6 per 100,000. This means that you are 25 percent more likely to be shot and killed in our nation’s capitol, which has some of the most stringent gun-control laws in the country, than you are in Iraq! ” Source.
I am all for bringing the troops home. After they win. If the opponents of the war would stop politicizing the effort and allow our troops to kill people and break things in Iraq the victory would come much faster and at a much cheaper cost in American lives and money.
