People in Afghanistan that were just our of the reach of the schrapnel of an exploding bomb, will agree with your assumption that they were "protected", The ones that were Hit and died, can't disagree. But that missing of contradicting voices doesn't prove the proposition.
If we are protected, then we can play Russian Roulette with a fully loaded revolver, Or cross 8 lanes of Interstate traffic blindfolded while driving roadblocks doing 80 an hour approach one on both sides.
Now there is nothing that can happen that won't happen anyway, including dying... And dying may not be as bad as we all are trained to think, unless it is for God, Country and the holy honor of the Religion... But that doesn't mean we are protected.
Extraordinary claims demand Extraordinary proof beyond faith in said claims or the number of times the claim is repeated..

I rather be rediculous and in charge over my own existence then protected like a little child from my own stupidity or misfortune and survival constantly pending on a "bail-out".
