I would say that yes, the chances of being killed by bad guys is
higher than being killed driving across town, but if you pay
attention, trust your buddies and follow the lead of your Senior NCOs
- stay sharp, you'll be just fine.

If your grandchild weren't as smart as you'd like and couldn't
specialize in something that'd keep them out of combat, how could you
possibly advise them to put themselves in harm's way for an idiotic war
such as the one we're presently engaged?

I certainly wouldn't want that on my conscience, especially if they
ended up being shooting practice for some freakin' insurgent in Baghdad.
