Casualty rate[edit]

The article states that "based on a typical battalion strength of 800 Marines and Navy hospital corpsmen, 93.63% (747) were Killed In Action (KIA) and 0.25% (2) were Missing In Action (MIA)." This statistic has no source provided, and is obviously bad math. 1st Battalion 9th Marines suffered 747 KIA throughout the ENTIRE war. That figure simply takes 747 and divides by 800 to get 93% KIA. The same 800 Marines would not have served in the same battalion for the entire war! The actual Marines in 1/9 would number in the thousands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.162.33 (talk) 08:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
