Официальное мнение UK Army на этот счет:
http://www.beforeyousignup.info/joining/army/54-danger
Researchers asked armed forces personnel who had been deployed to Iraq and/or Afghanstan which threats they most commonly faced. This is what they found:
•About half had seen someone wounded and killed (about a third had experienced this more than once)
About 15% had seen a comrade shot or hit who had been near them at the time
About a quarter had experienced an IED (roadside bomb)
About half had come under small arms fire
About three quarters had come under rocket/mortar/artillery attack
For those in front-line roles like the infantry these experiences would be more common; in support roles like logistics, less common.
In 2009, 508 armed forces personnel were wounded in action in Afghanistan, 158 of these were seriously or very seriously injured.
The risk of psychological harm in the army is higher than the risk of physical injury or death. A report in 2006 showed that about 4% of armed forces personnel showed symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (sometimes called 'shell-shock'). The rate was higher among troops with combat duties (6%) than those without (3%).
