Y'know, I've been thinkin' sum more 'bout my post yesterday on all the negative media. As far as I'm concerned it's criminal, jus' criminal, the way all that negativity skews the facts.
Fer example, take the war in Iraq. Yesterday, this
article jus' comes out an' reports how on April 12th four more U.S. troops died in Iraq, which brings the total in April to 35 U.S. troop deaths. The article points out that this is more than died in all of March, but really they is jus' bein' negative an misrepresentin' the truth of the situation.
Y'see, we have 'bout 133,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. So that means that in each day in April, over 132,000 of those troops did
not die, but ya don't see that reported anywhere, do ya?. An' ya don't see it tallied up none either. I mean, if each day, over 132,000 troops don't die, an' that's 12 days--let's see, twelve times one hundred an' thirty-two thousand . . . let me get my calculator.
. . . Well, that means that so far in the month of April over 1,584,000 U.S. troops did
not die in Iraq. That's over a million an' a half troops that're alive an' healthy. An' if that holds up all through April, that'll mean approximately four million troops will still be alive.
Wow, four million troops . . . but wait a minute, I don't get it, why does the generals keep sayin' they have a recruitin' problem? Seems like we're gettin' more guys every day.
