    The chances of trauma and injury is another thing.

    Very few die but so many end up mentally or physically diminished.

      Yeah PTSD is for real., I’m not discounting the nature of the military. But you probably aren’t going to die. The US military should do better when those folks no doubt, but on the whole most benefit from their active duty.
