Single term for “non-fatal casualty”
from my Marine Corps days, I recall that “casualty” implies the basic idea of elimination a Marine from being an active combatant. This can occur through severe injuries, death, capture, going UA, etc.
The term casualty applies to death and not to non-fatal casualties. Is there any word that shows the same meaning as “to me”? I feel that there is, but can’t remember! Or, I could simply be wrongly remembering that there was a single word… in which case, curses on getting old.
