Am i wrong in saying casualty means death?

Differs from fatality.

[kayak]

Casualty means injured but not necessarily fatally so.

Any story published by DEBKA ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

[billbears]

Easy there, the source is DEBKA. Usually about as trustworthy as the National Enquirer

[Terpfen]

Casualties aren't necessarily fatalities. Wounded soldiers are considered casualties, as are those who catch infectious diseases, or are for one reason or another unable to fight. Casualties are just that: casualties of war.

Casualties of war are considered both wounded and KIA, Killed in action...some wounded return to the battlefield with Purple Hearts, and some are shipped home with Purple hearts...God Bless our Men in Arms! I s it not Great to be a Patriot on this Day of Thanksgiving...The Poor Dems have no fun today because the Truth of Americas greatness and light for this world is so Bright and Revealed to all
