Running the Numbers

If my math is correct, and there's no reason to believe it is, the deaths (each one tragic) of our brave soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last 30 months represents .000012% of the American population per year. You lose more than that of your body mass when you get your hair trimmed. The numbers don't make the casualties over there a big deal, it's that the dead there represent some of the best of us which makes it a big deal.
