Things that are larger than the number of deaths in US wars:
Here is a statistic from me:
More people die from vending machines than from sharks.
The more important question is, Is that a relevant statistic considering how much larger the time frame is that we are not "at war."
Things that are larger than the number of deaths in US wars:
6 years of suicide
2 years of accidents
4.5 months of heart disease
What is your point with this statistic?

you are wrong it doesnt say that. you probably read it wrong
No, I see it too.
When has the US not been at war?
Stop paying attention to american news. You hear about these things because they are "exciting". You also hear about them because they are not common. There is a reason why when it happens it dominates the news for a week straight.interesting comments guys, but you are all skirting the issue. Surely you Americans have got to do something about gun control. Every time we hear of a shooting - in a school, movie theater or mall - the rest of the world looks at you guys in disbelief over your obsession with weapons.
Is that statistic not a wake-up call?
I guess probably not...

It tends to be self-inflicted tho, with a fair amount of choice involved.Fast food kills more people than guns
