Australia entered the Afghanistan War on October 7 2001. Since that time 32 Australian soldiers have been killed over the past ten years serving in Afghanistan. In contrast there has been 14598 Australians killed in car accidents over the same period.
What that means is, being an Australian soldier in a war zone is 456 times safer than being a civilian driving on an Australian road. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that, despite the situation, Australian soldiers know what they're doing while half the drivers on the road don't have the slightest clue what they're doing.
Or maybe we should just all drive tanks.
