Actually that's 1:100, but it's not the same 160K. I think maybe total is say 320K different US troops served in Iraq at most. So that means 1 out of every 200 has been killed and about one in 50 has been wounded so badly he/she wasn't able to return to duty within 72 hours. So basically if you go to Iraq you have a 1:40 in either getting killed or severely fucked up. Yeah good odds.
