Maybe a stretch considering the specific military tone of this collection, but consider this: Since the Revolutionary War ended, 646,596 American troops have died in battle and more than 539,000 from other, non-combat related causes. More generally, nearly 5 million served in WWI, over 16 million in combat during WWII, 1.79 million in Korea, 3.4 million in Vietnam, nearly 700,000 in the Gulf War and 2.5 million in the Iraq/Afghanistan Conflict.
