Look at the reporting of "news" events within CONUS. While deployed overseas, the J-2 frequently briefed crime comparisons between major US cities and Baghdad to help put things in perspective. LA and Detroit were often more dangerous than Baghad in terms of murders, etc. Stats like these don't make the press...because 20 people blown up in a car bomb is more sensational than 25 people shot dead in drug deals gone bad. Food for thought.
