I’ve been thinking about your 10% KIA number. I’m guessing that good portion of the 10% was made up of junior officers as most of these guys had reserve commisions and not regular Army commissions. Can’t speak to the marines or Air Force but they probably had a similar setup. Being that you were in the Marines maybe you ccan answer that question? There just weren’t enough Guard and Reserve guys that served over there, especially in combat units to achieve such a high KIA rate.

I showed that almost 5900 Reservists and Guard were killed, that sounds like a lot of Reservists to me, it is more than 10% of the total losses, as far as who they were attached to when they died I don’t know.

I was Army, not Marine.
