In fact, I have heard this theory explained many, many times.

In fact, you may have, but that doesn't make it a fact, sort of like the fact that you can't use a .50 BMG against people so soldiers are taught to shoot at uniforms that contain people. You can use the .50 BMG to shoot people and the military has been doing so since the .50 BMG was adopted.
The notion that a wounded soldier takes more soldiers out of the battle only applies to those instances where the soldiers care (either personally or by order). This is something that doesn't appear to be a significant factor in engagements in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and even in Iraq.
