Death of the common man

Death is for the common man
This time, America's war is not being fought by equal Americans

The Americans who have died in Iraq are disproportionately from small counties, disproportionately from areas with low income and disproportionately from places with low levels of college education.

A statistical analysis of the more than 300 U.S. soldiers who died in Iraq by Austin American-Statesman consultant Robert Cushing shows this may be America's war, but it's being fought by only part of America.


Those who have died in Iraq were 39 percent more likely than the nation as a whole to live in counties with fewer than 100,000 people. They were 16 percent more likely to live in a county with lower than average levels of college education. They were 16 percent more likely to live in counties with below average incomes.


Those who did come from the nation's large cities were disproportionately black or Hispanic.
