#1 About two battalions of enemy killed and wounded. Puts it in perspective.

#2 Presumably some captured as well.

#3 I'd guess at least twice as many captured (including the wounded -- how else would we know how many of those there are?) as killed, Glenmore, based on nothing more than gut feel after having read so many posts here.

#4 Exactly, TW. Clearly there will be several detainees, on average, for each toe tag.

Sort of amazing what you can do when you, ya know, actually sort of fight a war, instead of relying on magic tricks and b.s. to win. Our operations still probably amount to a pretty feeble effort, historically speaking.

#5 True, Verlaine.
You know if we fought this like, oh WWII, it would be over by now.
