I think so.  I'd say if you were pretty sure you had given it a good
pounding, and there was another squad of similar threat, it would make
sense to lower the first one's priority a bit.	But I'll wait and see if
it comes up.

Tom Barclay responded and pointed out that in reality you might not even
know when you had taken out the last man in a squad.  So you might
actually keep shooting at an empty clump of trees.  :-)  I thought that
sounded like an interesting game, where you'd hit a spot really hard,
hoping to get rid of the opposition there, and then sprint to where you
were going, hoping you were right.  But I don't think I want to play the
necessary complications at this point. :-)
