Got something near to hand for you.

Businessweek, 28OCT02, p12: "Casualties of War and Piece" (a small table, not an article). Most recent data read thus:

1999-2001: 1.37 million avg active duty troops

Cause and number of deaths in that period:
Terrorist attack: 70
Accidents: 1,258
Hostile Action: 0
Homicide: 110
Self inflicted: 405

Data from DoD

Hostile Action: 0

Self inflicted: 405

Wondering if these are per year or for the 2 or three year time period ... can you specify please?

Also, I am very happy with the info: "...during calendar years 2002 and 2003 show a comparable death toll exists in several US cities. Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City reported 1,168, 1,246 and 1,184 murders during the subject 24-month period." I knew it was close to this, but having the numbers posted is great.
