I am not arguing your point but it should be about life expectancy once productive age is reached not life expectancy overall. Maybe there are other factors which causes many young men to die but it evens out once productive age is reached (pure speculation but I feel it's an important distinction for the point to be valid).

According to this: https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/longevity.cgi

it's only 3-4 years at 25 y.o. Still significant. Also I would like data from other countries, I suspect they are worse.
