Want this question answered?
There are more deaths on the highway in one year than the total amount of deaths in the Viet-Nam era.
In comparison to what? Specify a specific highway, an amount of time and what the percentage is weighed against? Automobile accident deaths in general? think about the variable before you ask such an open ended question.
