Seems like that is the real crisis here in regard to the military.

You say they go into it knowing the danger. Your stats do not bear this out as accidents and suicide make up more than 50%. Not sure that’s the kind of danger people think about.
As far as suicides, it says it is a hard, lonely life...that is comprised of many young people without family support systems. Even so, studies show there are "no statistically significant differences between the military suicide rate and the U.S. population suicide rate, after adjusting for differences in age and sex."

Accidents are danger.
