"casualty"

[Paul Frank]

>From yesterday's Washington Post:

"Tourniquets have saved at least 1,000 lives, and possibly as many as
2,000, in the past eight years. This soldier is almost certainly one
of them. They're a big part of why only about 10 percent of casualties
in these wars have died, compared with 16 percent in Vietnam."
