He's using a sawn-off shotgun. No chokes or barrel length for accuracy. Even at 3ft you would be lucky to put 50% of your grains in a person. And that's assuming he's using a standard shot.
Firearms. A bit more complicated than Hollywood would have you believe,

You know, the kind in which any deaths come as something of a surprise and a bit of a scandal.

I think we have been very fortunate not to lose a lot more, judging by the tales he has told me.

It's a fucking war. If you're not prepared to have people killed, don't invade. It's really not rocket propelled grendades science.

It's not even the same today as it was in 1991 when I was last blowing shit up. Things have moved on. Casualties are much less expected of a modern, fully equipped army today than they ever have been in the past.
I think that you'll find that the army accepts and understands casualties. It's the civilian administration who are upset about the public perception they create and as such their standing, politically, with the public who vote for them.
But don't be dismissive of life so casually. On both sides. If you are fighting for pay or ideals, you are fighting with the chance of death. Armchair warriors should consider that before they have too much opinion.
