Interesting; but it obviously focuses on what might be considered normal, natural deaths from medical causes and does not take into account non-normal and unnatural deaths due to accident, killing, or intentional injury. I wonder what the percentages would be for auto accidents, air accidents, drowning accidents, fires, industrial accidents, deaths due to criminal acts of murder or manslaughter or assault, deaths due to covert and overt war activities, etc. if they were added as separate and distinct categories to those currently listed.

But not the way a 100,000-strong army does - or Predator drones.
And equating them is ludicrous.

For many years, Tim Johnson had no problem with killing people in
Iraq, Afghanistan, ...
Tim Johnson STILL has no problem with the United States support of
Israel killing people.
ergo: Tim Johnson's motivation is not the stopping of killing people.
