#1 Damn. I'm sorry to hear about this.

For most of history, the vast majority of the soldiers who died in war actually died of disease rather than at the hands of the enemy. By the middle of the 20th century, medical science solved that problem. But now (for modern militaries at least) it seems as if vehicle accidents and fratricide are steadily becoming a major cause of casualties.

There's got to be something that can be done about this.
