It’s so hopeless fighting the battle to remind people that “casualty” doesn’t mean “dead” and that it includes wounded, I don’t even bother anymore. It’s universal in the media to itterpret casualty as dead, and by 90% of the general population.

Total American CASUALTIES on the beaches (killed, wounded and missing was around 5,000. The fate of most of the missing was later determined as units later sorted themselves out. Eyewitnesses confirmed the deaths of many whose fate was unknown. A large number died from drowning and did not make it to shore.
