Okay, so under the first 5 years of Clinton, there was one military death by hostile action?
And that compares to 1102 under GWB?
Neither count tells the whole story. Deaths from the action in Afghanistan resulted from defending the safety of the US. Deaths from the action in Iraq were pointless.
The missing number is the combat-related serious injuries requiring continuing care. IIRC, the number is over 20,000 during the Bush 2 administration. And the per-soldier VA funding is down under Bush 2.
