There have been numbers posted, but the problem was that they included hundreds of people who were on their way to enlist who were killed as the result of kidnappings and/or blown up on busses or were standing in line to sign up. Since a number of those people wouldn't have become policemen or soldiers, the numbers aren't accurate.

I myself would count them as people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for their country and what they feel is at stake.
Especially knowing that they could be targeted. Unless you wanted to take the Charles Rangle approach and assume they they didn't have a choice.
