Because just like normal people.... soldiers die. Those numbers most likely involve all deaths, car accidents, military training accidents, death while skiing, drownings, and other shit. Drowning Accidents happen frequently in the summer. Joe likes to get drunk and go swimming.Mekstizzle wrote:
I fail to understand how that many soldiers could die in peacetime, especially in the worlds most "advanced" armed forces. Besides, as you can see. The numbers were going down until the wars, you could say that's because of better technology. The article also, when it eventually gets to the wars, just states war casualties and nothing else. So according to the trend of that chart, add another 800 to those deaths for "non war" casualties for 2003 onwards.
Extremely manipulative thing you just posted there. Unbelievable. Especially playing around with death statistics like that, i guess that's one thing you learned from Joe Stalin.
I'm guilty of getting plastered on red bull and vodka's and making the attempt to snow board. Its fun as hell, but the next day hurts. I climbed to the summit of Mr Rainer drunk as fuck. Joe drinks and like everyone else he likes to do stupid shit.
Training accidents happen. During Drivers training after we got back from our first trip to Iraq, I lost a really good friend because his stryker drove near a treee that was half dead, the top protion of the tree pinned him against the periscope ring, and the top of the stryker. Shit happens.
Its called the murphy factor.
