Causalities in war are called so because death in war IS casual. One has to move on quickly. It's sad, really.

Casualties mean its normal. Its normal for people to die. someone dies every 10 secs, someones born every 8 secs.

really now? Acually it's more like 5 born and 3 dead each second mr. Dumbass

I don't know the statistics, but I think the 10/8 sec thing is more accurate. Either way, there are too many people.

Okay no, its every 10 and 8, but if you want to simplify it, its 5 and 4, but no one simplifies it. Oh, whos the dumbass now, bitch?

You are. "1" isn't supposed to be simplified. By simplifying it to 5 and 4 seconds (this is if you only simplify the seconds because you can't really simplify 1 person), you imply that a person dies every 5 seconds and another is born every 4. With this logic, 2 people are born in 8 seconds, which is obviously not equal to 1 person per 8 seconds that the first person suggested. Or, if you meant to simply both parts (seconds and persons) in half, then you are implying that half a person dies every 5 seconds and another half is born every 4. Now, half a person just seems silly, amirite?

In Spanish it's "fallecido" which would literally transalte as "failed". Lol.
