[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 413406, member: 17969"] You should work on wall street, you have a great sense of number distortion. The article posted said it sent out 80K "invitations" to "subscribers", not soldiers in the field as both of you claimed in your earlier posts. Of that 80K, only 8470 returned responses or roughly 10%. Of that measly 10%, the article itself disqualifies its findings by stating that the majority of responses came from retirees and its remaining numbers came from enlisted "subscribers" not active fighting men and women in theatre. These people could simply be men and women sitting in barracks in camp pendelton or Fort Bragg. By no means does this survey "sample" the men and women in theatre. As for the military times, this rag hardly constitutes fair and balanced reporting. I would trust the military times about as much as the president when he sez all is well in the USA. The article I posted uses "ACTUAL" reported numbers from the fighting men and women in IRAQ, unlike the ones you've posted. Ron Paul beat out McCain hands down, another insult to injury for McCain. Try and post something scientific with specificity to IRAQ and I will consider your numbers. Nice attempt at deception however. [/QUOTE]
