Let's begin in 1800 and go through 11/30/04, and let's skip the Civil War –

Demos attacked Repubs, but let's leave it out. (Doing so doesn't change the

conclusions.)

Given duration and KIA, (D) Administrations kill American military personnel at a

rate of 2,040 per month; (R) at 49 per month. In the same amount of time, in

other words, (D) kill 42 times as many Americans as do (R). And (D) have had

America at war more than twice as long as (R). Of our time as a Republic,

roughly 2,760 months, (D) have had us at war 7% of the time, (R) only 3% of the

time.

Of these wars, America was attacked by the British in 1812, the Japanese in

WWII. In all others American forces were introduced into combat by a President

of the party indicated, when America had NOT been attacked - including the

European theater of WWII.

If we remove KIA for WWII because I don't know the split between Europe

(where we were not attacked) and Japan (where we were), then (D) KIA are

136,266, and GOP KIA are 3,987. So without WWII, (D) still kill 34 times as many

American military as (R).

And, of course, it was a Democrat in the White House who dropped the nuke on

Japan – twice.

And here's where the fun really begins. Less than 1% of American KIA were

killed in a war entered into by a (R) president. But the demos call the (R) the

"War Party." And the "anti-war" folks all are (D). Hilarious, isn't it? Oh, yeah, and

when a (D) gets us into a war he can't get us out of, a (R) manages to do so

(Eisenhower, Nixon).

(I left out the Revolutionary War for what seem obvious reasons, but just for

grins, remember when Pres. Jimmy said it was one of our bloodiest wars? 55

KIA/mo ranks it 9th-least bloody (out of 11); 4,435 KIA is 8th-least. Moron.)
