c_b, you work for FoxNews, you don't have access to the total number of US soldiers deployed and the total number of dead/wounded?

You would need the length of deployment, rank/jobtype/branch, and adjust the results for the area deployed to. Even then, the numbers would be deceptive because of the ever changing number of "contractors" fighting in Iraq and shifting tactics of the terrorists.

I feel confident that THAT statistic does not exist.

The Air Force serves three month deployments. Marine Corps and Navy typically serve 7 months, but Marines tend to get extended a month or two. The Army is typically on the ground for a year, but again, some units have been extended as far as 18 months.
Then you gotta take into account variations in the number of people on the ground at any given time.
I would say, that for the armed forces as a whole...it's around 1/1000 at this point. Maybe 1/750.
