That being said... think about 2000 years ago when men stood toe to toe and hacked each other to death with sharp tools. There wasn't any casualty count below 100%, because if you lost the fight your troops were more than likely killed almost to the man. Those that weren't killed outright were made slaves or tortured for their religious beliefs. By comparison, war today is a civilized business.

Ww2 eastern front was far from civilized... close to a genocide in the wake of the advancing army
