Brock asked:


I mean some people think once you go to Iraq and/or Afghanistan you will completely die. I mean can’t anyone die anywhere? Not just by getting deployed.

    In 2008 there were over 130,000 deployed troops and less than 500 casualties. This means the death rate is a percentage so tiny it breaks my calculator trying to figure it. It’s less than one hundreth of a percent. There is risk, but anyone who thinks the military is an automatic death sentence obviously hasn’t done the math. I would much more afraid of driving on a Saturday night than deploying in Iraq.
