It is a fact that if there is a wounded soldier, it takes two or three others out of action to take care on them

But only if your enemy cares about their wounded. If their philosophy is "it was the will of god that Achmed was hit and not I," we have a problem. I'm afraid the factor you cite deserves less weight in the modern equation.

they could just use a blended metal bullet. I dont remember off hand what metals are blended in the projectile. But I read an article in stars and stripes where a company donated some blended metal bullets 5.56 and were used on patrol. They shot an insurgent with it in the stomach, normal this wasn't life threatening but it blew his backside out. then there was a frenzy to get ahold of allthe blended metal bullets they could find. But the Army said they will not use those bullets. oh wait I found the article
