Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 12 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Jonathan Reed Sylvie As a field artilleryman, I can most assuredly state the the most casualties in a conventional war do in fact come from artillery barrages. In Field Artillery School (Fort Sill, OK), we were told that upwards of 70% of the damage to soldiers and equipment in conflicts from WWII to the present day were in fact caused by field artillery. They don't call it "The King of Battle" for nothing... CDT Jon "Fluffy" Sylvie Carnegie Mellon University
