И главное - в пехоте риск в 12 раз выше, чем в среднем по армии
In 2009 there were 106,380 personnel in the army; 98 died as a result of their posting to Afghanistan. 71 of these deaths were from one part of the army - the infantry. The risk of death for infantry personnel has been over 12 times higher than the average for the rest of the armed forces (based on the number of infantry fatalities in Afghanistan since the war began). Apart from the infantry, the mortality rate in the armed forces is similar to that in the population as a whole (because armed forces are fitter and less likely to suffer from disease).
