I always get confused by the “casualties”. I get it as of course wounded is worse for an army than dead, and missing could be runoff which is also worse.
Of course weapons are designed to disable and wound and suck up resources.
It’s not a mad stretch to think that maybe the army had it right: we’re so obsessed with the number of deaths a health threat forms (the Pinto, Covid 19) that we forget the nonfatal outcomes can be even more draining on society.
