Anti-war protestors - Are there more or fewer U.S. soldiers at war today than when Obama became President?
Here's what I can find:
Beginning of 2009: Iraq - 112,000; Afghanistan - 62,000; Total - 174,000
Today: Iraq - 94,000; Afghanistan - 87,000; Total - 181,000
Anyone else have different numbers?

Actually Obama is not very popular with the Anti-War crowd either.

There are very few people in the U.S.A. that are "Antiwar"
What many people are against is fighting a war when they don't know what their friends and family members are dieing for!
I believe in war to defend and protect. You have to fight to keep what is yours.

we have more numbers cause the cowards in control think that the show of numbers will intimidate the enemy, but the enemy only fears the gun and know we won't always shoot so they do.

No, those numbers appear to be correct.
What's your point?
