I believe it. The thing that really gets to me is the size of the forces we have committed in Afghanistan and Iraq and these people have weapons and dangerous items all around them.

Now suppose you compared them to a similar population of the most dangerous mid-sized cities in the United States, it would be interesting to see how the combat deaths in the field compare to the civilian deaths due to homicide and accidents?

It is said that there are fewer combat & bomb deaths in Iraq than in CA: a similar size area with equal populations.
