way back in the 80s I read that only a shockingly small number of infantry who engaged the enemy actually ever fired their weapon. Don’t recall the actual number (20%?) but I was suprised we won at all. I have no idea how they managed to figure this out but they did. By Vietnam they’d gotten the number way up. I’d love to know how they did that as well.
