AN ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY = FEWER MILITARY CASUALITIES. Here's just one reason. There are many more. Quotable:
the fact that average annual battle-death rates are so much lower in Gulf Wars I and (so far) II than in previous, conscript-using wars is suggestive, at least, of the effectiveness of the all-volunteer force at reducing the danger to U.S. troops.
