During World War II, there were several island-battles in which 4,000 or more U.S. Marines would be killed. Earlier in the war, during the Guadalcanal Campaign, over 4,000 Marines were killed, while later in the war, in the Allied reconquest of the Philippines, roughly the same number would be lost in action.
Influenza (or the flu) was the disease that killed more men during the war then combat did.

Yes, Marines can get killed. The service is a hazardous profession and death is always a risk. The single biggest casualty cause in the military is currently traffic accidents.
yes i think there were some casualties, especially in the 1983 terrorist bomb attack killed 241 American troops mostly marines.
I have numerous books on D-Day which say US Marines did not fight there. All 4 Marine divisions were active in the Pacific at that
