I made this during one of the last combat missions I went on. Lots of shooting and many casualties during these missions.
By the way, there is a difference between the way Thais are using the word "casualties" and the way American troops use the world casualties. For American troops, casualties includes killed, wounded, sick, captured, or otherwise incapacitated or hurt. We have casualties from hot and cold weather, or for instance sickness in combat due to malaria would be considered a casualty.
So when I have gone to attacks and said there are 30 casualties, for example, the more specific number might be 29 wounded and 1 killed. My Thai friends would say 29 wounded and 1 casualty. I would say 30 casualties: 29 wounded and 1 KIA.
