James Jones (1921–1977) American author

On the casualty rate
Don Swaim interview (1975)

The statistics were so much their enemy that there wouldn't be much chance that in four or five years, that they would survive it. Some did... and in fact most of the men who got in combat did survive it.<!-- 07:05
