    Casualties are how most militaries think about losses. A soldier in a hospital is just as bad as a dead soldier from the perspective of force management… Neither can participate in combat or act as a reserve. In fact, a wounded soldier is ofter worse than a dead one during combat because there’s likely 2-3 other soldiers trying to save them.
