"Don't you mean 'willing' to die for out country?"
Semantics, perception. Ask the families of those who've made the ultimate sacrifice and it goes from willing, to actual.
Technically, you're correct. The chance of dying isn't huge, it's not like signing up for the first wave at Omaha Beach. But, their chance of dying is still very real.
But, you are correct. FWIW.
