Answer 2

*slides pistol across table* you know what to do......

Oh geez another one of those "will i get hurt" questions lol well technically and statistically you have a higher chance of getting killed or "injured" as you so elegantly put it in the US as in Iraq and the only difference is that over there they are actually trying to hurt you as while in America it can either be a car wreck or slip in the shower or mugged or just at the wrong place at the wrong time

so lets say on average 3 U.S. troops are killed in iraq in 1 day.....now lets see how many people are killed in the U.S. in 1 day......i can guarantee you that its more than 3 and that doesnt count being mugged or seriously injured by some gang banging piece of s*hit

and fyi that little iraq death toll counter is even counting people who die in non-combat related incidents cause some people died there on natural causes but just because they where in iraq it still counts (stuff like heart attacks and accidents)

so there ya go i think that if you really really think hard about it, its not that great of a likelihood but as they say s*hit happens

Answer 3

With the mos's you listed you got a 25% chance of getting hurt even if you don't leave the USA  

Answer 4

100%, give or take.
