Save Lives - Stop the Peace!

In a surprising development it turns out that two years of peace in the 80's were more deadly than 2 years of war in 2005-2006:

More active members of the military died during two years of peacetime in the early 1980s than died during a two-year period of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a government report.

The Congressional Research Service, which compiled war casualty statistics from the Revolutionary War to present day conflicts, reported that 4,699 members of the U.S. military died in 1981 and '82 — a period when the U.S. had only limited troop deployments to conflicts in the Mideast. That number of deaths is nearly 900 more than the 3,800 deaths during 2005 and '06, when the U.S. was fully committed to large-scale military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think the Code Pinkos are on the wrong track. If they want to save lives in the military, they need to stop the peace, not the war.

(Actually, the Code Pinkos don't give a whit about the lives of military personnel. They want to end war to save the terrorists.)
