   Really!!!!  I think a lot of units would say "Thank God the LT is
dead, now maybe we will get out of this alive!!!!"  Besides all my
reading says that unless the LT buys it in front of you, you wouldn't
know about it till the fight was over. AS a matter of fact few soldiers
have any idea of what happened even then. Only a few people would care
and the more disciplined they are the less difference it would make,
only
the greenest untrained units are surprised that they would take
casualties.
