The Que was about numbers

Quote:
3,000 to 8,000 DYING, not dead. They died from inadequate medical care. Yes, they were wounded by tens, even hundreds, of thousands of lead bullets fired in massive volleys at massed troop concentrations. But they weren't killed by the bullets. They were simply incapacitated, and they died agonizing deaths, often from exsanguination, infection and gangrene.

That was somehow better?
Mykeal, If you think lead poisening isn't dead one way or another, or there are no silmularities to gangerine by a saber, or by fesis on a punji stick. I haven't a clue as what you are attempting to project. As I never stated it was better or worse, Simply outragously high numbers. It was about Black Guns and a comparison to the Weapons during the War of Attrition I do believe.
