My impression is that except for rotary wing, we're still near
the peacetime accident rate, based on accidents per number
of flown hours (which hours are way higher than usual).
But yes, mil av is dangerous. Even the peacetime mil accident
rate would be unacceptable for commercial av.

Right on. Our military people do a fantasic job of minimizing the serious danger. Landing an airplane or helicopter on a boat just isn't inherently safe, and flying in a warzone isn't either. Under the wartime circumstances, I think they're doing great.
