Consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq
theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths.

That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the US Capital,
which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion : The U.S. should immediately pull out of Washington.

The math in this one is not only based on false sources first quoted in 2006, it is internally flawed.

Some simple arithmetic will tell you that 60 is the number of deaths per month not per annum.

still a very low rate for a war period.
