High-intensity battle...

High-intensity battle...  The photo at right shows a stump ripped apart and pock marked by the bullets flying in one of history's highest intensity battles: the U.S. Civil War's Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, in May of 1864.  Only a tiny fraction of the millions of bullets fired in the Civil War actually found their target.  The exact fraction is hotly debated, but even the most generous estimates put it at under 0.1%.  The rest of the bullets went ... somewhere else, like this stump.  In Afghanistan, U.S. soldiers are firing far more accurately, the result of both better weapons and (vastly) better training.  You won't find such a stump there, or anything even close to that...
