More likely to die being in high school than being in the active military this year.
2018 has been deadlier for schoolchildren than service members - The Washington Post

The Post's headline is very misleading. There are 1.3 million people serving in the military and 50 million students in the US. That means it's 17 times more deadly being a service member than it is being a student (that's just combat deaths). The Post is making sound like a soldier is in a safer position than a kid attending school.
