I'd argue the DoT comes surprisingly close to the FDA. And let's not get started on how backwards the FDA and USDA are with their almost competing near miss regulatory areas.
The focus of the US military is the accomplishment of military objectives, not on indiscriminate slaughter.
I'm having trouble finding current comprehensive reports on casualties as a consequence of direct US military action, but we can look at the most recent major action, the US-initiated war in Iraq (2003--2011), in which the upper-bound estimate is about 645,000 casualties. That works out to about 80,000 per year. Low-end estimate is about 50,000/year. Note that this is now much reduced.
Highway traffic fatalities in the US are presently just under 50,000/year. Which is to say that peacetime fatalities due to transportation are on the order of total military deaths during a fairly major war. On a sustained basis, vehicles have likely killed more people than US military operations.
