[lbo-talk] Iraq GI death demographics

[Michael Smith]

Surely these numbers don't mean anything unless we have 
the relevant denominators? E.g: 

 
> -Percentages of all casualties by service branch: Army: 72 percent;  
> Marines: 24 percent; Navy: 2 percent; Air Force: 1 percent (Coast  
> Guard had one death.)

What are the ratios of the relevant populations (how many Army, how 
many jarheads etc) serving there? 

 
Same goes for all the others, no?
