No matter what they do, they will always lose in some way, shape or form until the end of the story arc.

And of course they're not going to die. Not just for the fact they are the main characters, but if they were going to die, they would have already. Sarge was shot through the head, Flowers had an aspirin overdose, Tucker got blown up by a motorcycle rocket, and Grif has been blown up, stabbed, maimed, shot and hit in the balls more times than I care to mention.

Pretty much the only main protagonist ever to die was Alpha-Church, and that barely counted once we got epsilon.
