Wait, that means that Picard lost about 70 officers, Kirk lost 94 officers, Janeway lost 56, and Archer lost around 53 (from what I could gather from the wikis.) Even circumstantially, the Enterprise D is pretty lethal to have families on board. All the others were going into the unknown, but D had regular missions inside well-known territory (mostly.)

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
Even circumstantially, the Enterprise D is pretty lethal to have families on board.
I really appreciated the turbolift conversation between Troi and Picard in "The Bonding". It was a great in-character way to call out Roddenberry's weird idea about families being aboard Starfleet ships.
TROI: I sense the weight of this duty on you, Captain.
PICARD: I really wonder. Halt. I've always believed that carrying children on a starship is a very questionable policy. Serving on a starship means accepting certain risks, certain dangers. Did Jeremy Aster make that choice?
TROI: Death and loss are an integral part of life everywhere. Leaving him on Earth would not have protected him.
PICARD: No, but Earth isn't likely to be ordered to the Neutral Zone, or to repel a Romulan attack. It was my command which sent his mother to her death. She understood her mission and my duty. Will he?
Janeway personally killed each of hers, just as a little treat for herself
I thought something was weird when her coffee mug said "Don't talk to me until I've killed Tuvix"

Sisco would be off the charts
The thong song was definitely on the charts /s
That was pretty good
Picard: Mostly stays within Federation Space as a diplomat, occasionally participates in defense actions, fucked with by Q when he's bored
Kirk: Went into unknown space for exploration, few resupply runs, war with Klingons
Janeway: Teleported into hostile alien space with no hope of resupply, hostile aliens aren't even the most lethal, loses medical doctor early
Sisko (not shown): Literally commanding a military installation at the front lines of a warzone.
Archer:
