Default More US Marines have died on bikes than in Iraq

Marine motorcycle deaths top their Iraq combat fatalities - CNN.com

Cliff notes:
-The total number of marine casualties in Iraq this year has been surpassed by marine's killed in motorcycle accidents here in the states.
-All but one of the dead were on sportbikes.
-Military brass have started to counter the problem by making marines with bikes take a riding class

its started already... they wont let u on my base and mcdill unless you have the military approved MSF course. doesnt matter if you have your license you have to take the military course too. and commands have been hangin people out to dry if you wreck or pulled over and ticketed and you dont have your military MSF.
