casualties does NOT equal deaths. It includes wounded

Uh... I didn't realize this. Thank you for the education.

Typically a rule of thumb for the US (hard to tell recently because the number of casualties in combat has been so low you get statistical anomalies) is about one soldier killed for every 3 wounded. However, with the constant advances in combat medical care, even for a city fight I suspect the ratio may go down to 1 killed for every 5-6 wounded.
