Nothing is free in this life and every coin has a face and his cross. Perhaps many men, which do not include myself, I must say, they want power. And if so, what better way to get to be the "most powerful man in the world." At least, that is often called the U.S. president. But this position also has its risks, as we will see are significant. Unique visitors counter, "statistical section, has made a small study based on data from Wikipedia.
The probability of dying as a soldier in combat in various wars in which the U.S. has been involved, is:
War of 1812: 0.79%
War with Mexico: Civil War
16.87%: 16.47%
War with Spain: 0 , 80%
World War I: 2.46%
World War II: 2.52%
Korean War: 0.65%
Vietnam War: 0.67%
Desert Storm: 0.02%
The data are taken from Central History and absence of data for the last war in Iraq, but this would not change the statistics.
In the U.S., from the first president, George Washington, have passed the 45 men charged. Of these, 4 were killed during his tenure: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901) and John F. Kennedy (1963). Therefore, the death rate for murder among U.S. presidents is 8.88%. High above the rates we've seen for the first and second world wars, the war in Vietnam or Korea.
If we add this figure to 9 presidents have survived attacks during their terms, we will have these, more than those killed, are 29% of CEOs who have passed through the White House. Really a very high value.
So, folks, we can conclude that it is much more dangerous to be president in U.S. that soldier in his army and fight in a war. And that despite bodyguards, armored cars, AIR FORCE ONE and everything else.
