There is more risk when they are aiming to hit you. |
But on the other hand, there's a very small risk that both brothers, out of the entire coalition occupation forces, would be the ones to die. It's been a while since I've taken stats, but I think that risk is 1/168,000 multiplied by 1/168,000. It's pretty darned unlucky and pretty darned sad. |
I once wrote a thread, somewhere, I forget, on another board, that looked at the statistical chances of death while a servicemember in the US Armed Forces . . . The statistical risk of death per 100,000 (staticians average) was higher then national rate of homicide but lower then say dying in an auto collision.
And depending on the occupation there are other, and some more hazardous, jobs outside of the military with the same fatality rate.
I need to look this up, as I wrote it up a year ago, and can't find it . . . give me time.
