rather than kill them...? Quote below from Glacierwolf..............I hope you don't mind me quoting you Glacierwolf...
"On today's modern battlefield - we do not want a 45acp that kills. We want a 9mm that wounds. Kill an opponent - you remove one person from the battlefield. Wound an opponent - you remove three combatants from the battlefield - the one that got hit and the two needed to carry him back"
.....I have read this view many times and have wondered about its truth. When I did my training this wounding theory was never mentioned and I know that guys in the field would mutiny if their Lieutenant told them ..."Try not to kill the bastards"
So just where does this theory originate ?
