Well... they'd better be paying well for the risks you take. This is usually why the military will pay for your med school... because it would suck to take out a ton for loans and then die and have your family stuck with them.
Military physicians can and have died in Iraq (not sure about Afghanistan)

Yeah, not that surprising. It makes perfect sense.
Most people value their lives at $5 to $10 million (ie: they're willing to spend ~$100k to protect from a 1% chance of death or so), so if you have a 1% chance of death each month, then it makes sense that it costs an extra $120k a month to keep a doctor on board since a doctor probably values his/her life a little higher since they have higher incomes.
