Sheehan AGAIN???
With the approach of the 2000 death in the Iraq war. Many antiwar protesters plan to celebrate the death as a milestone to prove their point. Cindy (poor me, boo hoo)Sheehan says that she will chain herself to the whitehouse and give a speach untill they arrest her. Then when released will go back and rechain herself untill all the troops come home. How absurd is this. Is this woman for real? Does she need shrink help?
YES, YES, YES, YES and YES.
Her brainwashing by bleeding heart peaceniks is incredable.How far will they stretch their lies in order to force their willover the American government and populance. The claim of "no other war has coast this many lives" just is flabbergasting. As I hear talk around the water cooler. Such a lack of historical knowledge shows how the subversive elemante has corrupted our school systems and created monster eager for the camera like Cindy Sheehan.
A true look at military deaths and ratio's to active service in war zones follows:
Conflict Population Enrolled Ratio
(millions) (thousands)
Revolutionary War 3.5 200.0 5.7%
War of 1812 7.6 286.0 3.8%
Mexican War 21.1 78.7 0.4%
Civil War: Union 26.2 2,803.3 10.7%
: Confederate 8.1 1,064.2 13.1%
: Combined 34.3 3,867.5 11.1%
Spanish-American War 74.6 306.8 0.4%
World War I 102.8 4,743.8 4.6%
World War II 133.5 16,353.7 12.2%
Korean War 151.7 5,764.1 3.8%
Vietnam War 204.9 8,744.0 4.3%
Gulf War 260.0 2,750.0 1.1%
As you can see only 1.1% of 2,750,000 have died in the Gulf war. This is a testiment as to the training and well equipt military we have. A much smaller military then in previouse engagements.
If Cindy wants to chain herself to the White house I say let her, but give her something constructive to do while she is there. Have her hold a trash bag for her lies to be put into and thrown out. I say also hold a counter demonstration next to her. Just out of her vile reach set up recruitment booths for our Military.

The table compares the cost of America's principal wars since 1775 on the basis of then current and 1990s dollars. Current dollars are the actual numbers spent at the time. Thus, a 1775-1783 dollar had the equivalent purchasing power of $10.75 in 1990s terms. Actually this conversion is only a very rough guide, but at least gives some idea of the relative costs of the ten wars on an adjusted basis. However, it is not possible to take into account drastic changes in social structure (most Americans were farmers in 1775, and didn't use much money), and the increasing affluence of American society over the two centuries covered by the table.
YES, YES, YES, YES and YES.
