    I hear it is actually preferential to cripple soldiers rather than outright kill them in attritional warfare. A dead soldier is a martyr. A cripple is a terrifying look at your future + an expense.

      This won’t be an attritional war in terms of bodies tho. A land invasion of US troops is unlikely. Killing those troops instead instills fear in troops and makes the US public recoil.
