The percentage of US soldiers who were killed during the Persian Gulf war is 0.01%. Persian Gulf war took place between 1990 and 1991. During this war, the majority of the US soldiers who died, died as a result of other causes not directly related to the war, that is, they were not killed on the battle fields. This is why the percentage of soldiers who died during the war is so small.
