Am I going to die if I don't join the Army? You say on page 238 of War that young men are six times more likely to die as a cop or fireman and vastly more likely to die than a one-year deployment to Afghanistan at a military base.  We have been talking about your book all week long in a high school in Seattle and we would like you to elaborate more on this statistic.  Thank you!
