But they are still dead, right?
Yes, but it is a little befuddling in both directions. That is, I try to keep count by estimating enemy killed not just with raw numbers, but by comparing it to military units.
It really changes perspective when you say that instead of killing 150 enemy, that we wiped out an entire company. It puts into perspective how incredibly lethal our people are compared to that ragtag bunch of fanatics.
That is why I left off by noting that in the WoT we have killed between two and three corps of combined enemy. Few nations of the world have armies that large, so it puts into perspective what our forces have done--yet with amazingly low casualties themselves.
