OK… a typical ratio is 15-20% of casualties are fatalities, but that varies widely according to the mode and intensity of warfare, the effectiveness of medevac and subsequent treatment, how good a shape they were in when they got hit, etc, etc.
But if you’re in the fight, it’s good for you if an opponent becomes unable to fight, regardless of the reason.
Well, in reporting I’m used to getting, we don’t have to guess with “typical ratios”. They give the numbers up front. That’s what I think accurate reporting should do.
That’s all good. I’m just saying in news reporting where I live, killed and injured are always reported separately. It matters.
