57 dead since 2002
2007-06-12, 11:37 AM #1
there have been 57 canadian soldiers killed in afghanistan since 2002. i'm moving there. statistically it's safer than driving on the highways and biways of canada.

It's sad but true. More people die right here at home than overseas in the military.

There are more Canadians in Canada than there are in Afghanistan, though. :p
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

There is also a much great number of canadians over on this continent than over there. :P

Your way of thinking is seriously flawed.

even fewer canadians die inside industrial shredders maybe you should move into one of those

I recommend Kandahar, they have a Tim Horton's there. You might need to join the military to use it, though.

Honestly, I'd rather be in Afghanistan. Atleast there I'd get to do my job instead of being a platoon RTO.

Oh, nm then.

He's just saying that it's statistically safer to be a Canadian soldier in Afghanistan than it is to drive on Canadian highways.

...only if there are 20 million canadians in afghanistan


OKAY I will help you guys out since this is what happens when I don't


2500 troops in afghanistan. which means the annual soldier fataility rate is ~4.5 per thousand.

the canadian national traffic fatality rate for 2004 (the newest data I can find easily) is ~ 1.4 per 10,000 registered vehicles. this statistic also includes pedestrians.

at the absolute minimum you are 32 times more likely to die in afghanistan. you are actually much more likely than that, since the data considers registered vehicles instead of people (it's probably closer to 1.4 per 25,000 road users). in conclusion, darth evad sucks at statistics and avenger probably does too

Holy smokes this thread is getting confused. Jon: I asked about what Evad was doing in Afghanistan. Avenger thought I was asking what Spook was doing there. I clarified that I was talking about Evad, but Avenger thought I didn't understand his original post.
