There were about 152,000 US troops in Iraq as of early October 2005. As of mid-November 2006, there were approximately 152,000 US troops deployed to Iraq.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_orbat.htmPentagon officials say the new plan is aimed at adding manpower to improve security in the short term -- when troop numbers will increase from the current 130,000 to as many as 180,000
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2003/11/06/number_of_troops_in_iraq_to_expand/Between those two articles the average number is 141,000.
Current number of deaths in Iraq since war began (03/19/03) 3160
Percentage of Casulities .023 % (rounded up)
Casulities per 100,000 2300
Population in DC since 2003 is 554,126 (averaged number)
Current number of murders since 2003 811
Percentage of Casulities .0015% (rounded up)
Percentage per 100,000 150
The simple fact is as bad as the crime rate is in dc it isn't and has never been 80.6 per 100,000.
