. *Roughly 40% of those who join the military never get deployed to a combat zone at all.
*10% to 20% of those who do find themselves on a deployment wind up in a combat zone. Remember, that is not 10 to 20% of the total. It is just 10 to 20% of the 60% who get deployed.
*Most of the troops who do end up in combat zones do not actually enter combat against the enemy. They are support troops backing up those who do.
*When you break it down, about one out of every 10 soldiers in the military -- 10% overall -- actually go to combat and have to fire their weapons.


That's for active duty military not guard units like I posted earlier..
