Random War Factoid #49,382

Via Zev, the Rogue Jew:

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in
the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, that gives a
firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The firearm death rate in
Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.
That means that you are 25% more likely to be shot
and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun
control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion:

We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C.
