I have to argue with that...I'd say these statistics are much better than they appear. Of course you are going to be more likely to die if you are a soldier in the middle of an active warzone. Yes, you have training, weapons, etc. but in the type of close-quarters urban combat that our soldiers face in Iraq the enemy has advantages of surprise and the environment. That the number is only 10x worse than that of a normal citizen in Detroit going about their ordinary lives during peacetime is astounding.
