I never said it doesn't happen.

I just say it happens too often in SG.

My Brigade took 94 killed in action in the span of 15 months.

During our last 9 months in Ramadi, when we took most of our
casualties, our estimates were that we killed roughly 1800 bad guys,
and detained 1200 (that were kept in detention--you always sweep up
more than you keep, they get sorted out in 72 hours or so).

Most of the guys we killed were with direct fire.  Very few of our
casualties were from direct fire.

YMMV
