right you are, my medically insightfull fellow!!
as a metter of fact, more troops have died from DNBI
(disease, non-battle injuries) than from combat wounds
in just about EVERY known millitary
conflict. this includes the recent "Desert War" where more US troops
died in training and other accidents than in the entire war...

the only major conflict i'm unsure of is the Falklands War.
never did find the medical after action reports on that one...
