Being an old military historian by one college degree, I can honestly
say
it is my impression that the ratio of combat casualties since about 1500
BC have been less than non-combat casuaties in most wars if not all  (I
wish I had the URL to STD [gonoorrhea, et. al.] statistics but i don't
do
that anymore.)	And think about how young almost adult drivers drive
through most urban neighborhoods and I would expect more vehicular
casualties except for a remanent of discipline and maturity from
Basic/Technical Training, "If I live, the Sarge will kill me," and some
overworked MP's.  And maybe a little Grace of God...

Gracias,
Glenn
