Hi!

The point beig, Brain, that civilians die in the course of
both
"peacetime" and states of war too.

Then they would have been wise to have stepped up to the plate and
enlisted.

Do a bit of history research on "Maritime Marine", "Civil Air
Patrol" and "Office of Civilian Defense" during WW2.

CAP "civilians" still lose their lives "in the line of duty",
and
they weren't even getting paid for it.

Then they did something horribly, horribly wrong.

Such as...?!?!

People die every day doing whatever it is they do 100% safely.

Like the local mother of two who was stopped at a traffic light.
She was sober, alert, had her seat belt with shoulder belt on. A drunk
driver careened through the intersection and struck her sqaure in the
door.

3000+ people died three years ago just becasue they went to work
that day.

Did THEY do something "horribly, horribly wrong"...?!?!

There's absolutely no guarantee to life other than you are going
to die. What you do with your life until you do is to some degree in
your own hands. The rest is the roll of the dice.
