Good question Grunt
I know amost 1/3 of the guys in my unit pulled a second (6 month) tour. I think the promise of an early out was more appealling than the prospect of dying, since we were not "directly" in the line of fire. Unfortunately, I can name more tha a few that didn't make it, because of mortar / rocket attacks on the firebase. I know I came came a lot closer to death during my second tour than the first.
Let me know if you fiond a site or records of multiple tours. The only record I know of is the dates of "in-country" on my DD214.
