  I've heard that it is better to use ammunition that will maim rather than 
kill because killing a n enemy only subtracts one from the other side but
wounding him takes three or more in the way of medical support teams and
other such.
 
  If the enemy is uncivilized enough not to repair his wounded, then he
won't retain the loyalty of his troops relative to an army which does.
