Soldier's Chance of Life in Modern War
The soldier faces 29 chances to return home for every 1 chance of death, and 98 chances of recovery from a wound for 2 chances of dying. He has 1 in 500 to lose a limb, and five more years of life from physical training. Disease risk is lower in the army than civilian life, and front line care is better than at home. In prior wars, 10 to 15 men died of disease for each bullet. In this war, 1 dies of disease for every 10 killed by bullets, making it less wasteful of life than any prior conflict.
