In the military you are 4 times more likely to die from suicide than you are from being killed in combat.
The greatest threat to US military personnel is the US military.
Suicide also kills more Americans than murder within the USA
The difference is we don’t try to recruit teenagers for murder. Well, the government doesn’t anyways, at least on paper.
So the same US Military threat as about every other country, including the allies.
