Probably hundreds of times more deaths in Iraq. I'll look into stats.

Big difference is whether you're volunteering to be shot at.
In '68 I was running a tractor shoe press in at IH in Chicago.
My quencher was a south side black guy who had done a couple tours in
Viet Nam. I was south side too but didn't travel in his circles.
Shortly after meeting him I noticed a nasty bullet scar on his arm and
asked if he was wounded in Viet Nam.
His answer was succinct.
"No. 63rd and State Street."

No, most of the deaths in Iraq aren't people who have volunteered,
they are innocent victims.

Just like the 100,000 a year that Saddam was killing?

Yes, it's much more morally superior to die as a result of U.S.
involvement in Iraq.
