Stupid? So... you are suggesting that we should expect more Americans to die in Afghanistan and Iraq than Chicago? The population of US citizens in those countries was like 200,000 at its peak. And those were mostly young men in good physical shape, that weren't likely to die. Just basic math man. |
The title is a little misleading. It's not death rate its murder rate that means age is not of relevence. The old and young dying due to illnesses and other natural causes and accidents are not part of the figures so that argument is gone. So more Chicagoans are have been killed than in Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined is the true story here
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
