Not off-hand, no. Given FAS's track record in other areas however, I'd 
check the official web sites of the relevant armies and countries for
the 
number of soldiers and the population size. The ratio itself is easy to 
calculate, after all :-/

Of course, what you don't tell the customer is that it was you yourself
who 
personally wrote the offending brochure... <g>

Signing out for a couple of days,
