If you look at it from the "half full" perspective, who wouldn't take a chance when the odds were better than 99 to 1?

Or so it seems to me.


Doesn't seem so bad, but let's see:

- 1% of 20,000,000 = 200,000 dead Americans

- 1/2 of 1% (or 0.005) of 20,000,000 = 100,000 dead Americans

- 1/4 of 1% (or 0.0025 ) of 20,000,000 = 50,000 dead Americans

- 1/10 pf 1% (or 0.001) of 20,000,000 = 20,000 dead Americans

Seems like big numbers to me, especially if anyone I know is in them.



2,996 Dead Americans / $6.4Trillion


In case you didn’t recognize the numbers 2,996 died on 9/11 and we spent $6.4 Trillion on wars in the Middle East through 2018.
