GDG- Foote

[John Baniszewski]

SNIP

Given the life expectancy data, most CSA vets would have died prior to mr. Foote's birth assuming
 an enlistment age of 17 years and a life expectancy of 40.1. 

UNSNIP

You need to be careful about numbers like that.  Factored into that life expectancy figure are all of those who died in their infancy.  The mortality rate was so high back then among the really young, compared to today, it can skew an "average" number.
