Where were all these fatalities taking place during the Clinton years? Are they all because of military action somewhere or do they include any cause of death? I'm not doubting the info, I'm just learning. It's interesting to say the least.

On average the most dangerous thing a soldier will do in a year is go on a 4 day weekend.

 

However there were a whole lot of UN peacekeeping deployments in the Clinton years which had a lot of accidental deaths.

 

The numbers do look differently when you consider the 30,000 plus who have received permanent injury under W.
