Man's violent nature creates lost loved ones several different ways.

If your loved one serves and dies, well that's pretty obvious - the loved
one is lost forever.

If your loved one serves and survives, well that's less obvious - the loved
one is lost to some degree or the other for the duration. And they lose
normal control over their lives for the duration - for example they are not
protected by the usual constitutional protections.

If your loved one is a civilian in in a country where there is a war, then
the loved one is lost to some degree or the other for the duration, or lost
forever if they die in the conflict.

If your loved one is a civilian in in an area where there is high levels of
civilian violence, then the loved one is lost to some degree or the other
for the duration, or lost forever if they die in a conflict. For example,
the city just south of me has a murder rate of about 1 person per thousand
per year. If you live there 50 years, your probability of being murdered is
something like 1 in 20. In world war 2, about 5 million served in theU.S
forces, and about 250,000 were killed - about 1 in 20.

Did you factor in the city buses?
