What are your odds of dying in war?

1 in 5 peopledie in war every second

A lot of people die all the time at war, though if that were true for people in general, the human population would die out in less than a minute.

When I volunteered to go to a peacekeeping operation, I saw that more people died on highways every weekend in a nearby country, than in a war near where I was to peacekeep.

On the other hand, if you are in tanks like I was, I have heard about a statistic, that the average time to live in the field of a tank battle is 15 minutes. So there you go. That's the average.
