does anyone know how likely it is for a u.s. marine to die? Does anyone have a rate or a percentage or like a _ out of ten number? please this is really important.
The death rate for marines, in active and reserve, in Iraq is 8.5 per 1,000.
To put that in perspective, that is about the same death rate as the entire civilian population of the US. In 2003 8.42 people per 1,000 people died. Of course that includes the elderly and such, who tend not to serve in the army. You would expect that young men and women, who make up most of the army, would have a lower death rate then the general population. I just wanted to give you an idea of a 'normal' death rate.
