Yes...they do not matter...but the kill ratio is normally approximately 100 to 1 when US forces engage an enemy but can often go much higher. In the 1st Gulf war...estimates of enemy killed range from 100,000 to 300,000 compared to combat losses for the US forces of something over a 100. In Vietnam US KIA's were approximately 60,000 and estimated Vietnamese losses are estimated as high as 3,000,000.
