Oh really.... Are you including "our side" or both sides in the war?


Hmmm... I wrote:

While it's clear to me that Americans are meant, perhaps it would be clearer to
all if I wrote:

"Every year and a half, about as many Americans die on US highways as Americans
died in the entire Vietnam war."

How's that?

And if you're going to discuss dangerous industrial processes, consider
this:
The most dangerous common form of mechanized transportation in use today
in the
USA are privately owned motor vehicles. Every year and a half, about as
many
Americans die on US highways as died in the entire Vietnam war. Airlines,
trains, buses and ships are far safer, yet few people refuse to drive or
ride
in a car compared to other modes. Why?
