As far as the "cooks in danger" topic goes....
A military cook is, at the end of the day, still a trained rifleman, and could be expected to join in a battle if required. More than one army has rounded up cooks, bin rats, and mantainers to form an ad-hoc infantry unit for a local counterattack.
That is not true of civillians. The civvies might be exposed to the same dangers that come with living in a military camp, but they would never be expected to go on a mission "outside the wire".
Hm. All this talk about military cooks suddenly has me jonesing for track pads and a grilled cheese sandwich.
