Failures are not fatal 
Effort is never futile
Death is not final.
 
 
 
Military losses for 20 years. These are some rather eye-opening facts: Since the start of the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan , the sacrifice has been enormous. In the time period from the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 through now, we have lost over 3000 military  personnel to enemy action and accidents. 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 the armed forces from;

        1980 through 2006:                 
        1980 ..........                 2,392       
        1981 ..........                 2,380        
        1984 ..........                 1,999       
        1988 ..........                 1,819       
        1989 ..........                 1,636       
        1990 ..........                 1,508       
        1991 ..........                 1,787       
        ----------------------------------------------------
        1992...........                 1,293             
        1993 ..........                 1,213       
        1994 ..........                 1,075       
        1995...........                 2,465       
        1996...........                 2,318 
        1997 ...........                   817       
        1998 ...........                 2,252       
        1999 ..........                  1,984 
        Clinton          years @13,417 deaths       
        -------------------------------------------------
        2000 ..........                 1,983       
        2001 ..........                    890       
        2002 ..........                 1,007
        2003 ..........                 1,410       
        2004 ..........                 1,887       
        2005 ..........                    919       
        2006...........                    920 
        7 BUSH         years @ 9,016 deaths       
        ------------------------------------------------------------     
If you are confused when you look at these figures...so was I.   
Do these figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during Mr. Clinton  's presidency; when America wasn't even involved in a war? And, I was even more confused; when I read that in 1980, during the reign of President (Nobel Peace Prize) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 US military fatalities! These figures indicate that many of our Media & Politicians will pick and choose.
 
They present only those "facts" which support their agenda-driven reporting.
 
Why do so many of them march in lock-step to twist the  truth. Where do so many of them get their marching-orders for their agenda? Our Mainstream Print and TV media, and many Politicians like to slant; that these brave men and women, who are losing their lives in Iraq , are  mostly minorities!
 
Wrong AGAIN--- just one more media lie! The latest census, of Americans, shows the following distribution of American citizens, by Race:
        European descent (White)........            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.......................................                    3.3%
You do the Math! These figures don't lie... but, Media-liars figure...and they sway public opinion!(These statistics are published by Congressional  Research Service.
Now ask yourself these two questions:   
 
"Why does the mainstream Print and TV Media never print statistics like these?" and "Why do the mainstream media hate the web as much as they do?"
