luck?

So a dear friend, Ronnie, came back today from Iraq. Alive and well.
Another friend told me I must be a good luck charm or something because all of my family and friends who go off to war all come back unscathed.

It's that, a tendency to only make friends/be related to people who try their darndest to make it out alive and succeed or a tendency to only make friends who are lucky themselves.

Whatever it is, it would be pretty awesome to mass-produce it.
