That was my first thought as well. In two instances I am personaly familiar with a dead water buffalo was reported as three enemy dead (the cow was all that was found, with blood everywhere) and one of ours dead was all that was reported when I personally saw five that had to be dead. It seems that when the truth doesn't look the way we want it to, it sometimes gets interpreted till it does. Nobody's fault really, it's just sorta the way it works.
