Current War.... 4,093- Pres. at beginning, Bush, Republican
The way I read this, an American is much less likely to lose his life under a Republican president.

I think this is just an example of war deaths decreasing with time (& with increasing war technology and medical knowledge); but unrelated to administration. If you go further back in time (like the Civil War, -Repub.) the death toll is even greater, into the millions, I think.
