My dad fought in WWII, at Okinawa. His unit had a 120% casualty rate or so--the entire unit, plus 20% of the replacements. According to him, one of the reasons we had so few Japanese prisoners is because the Marines weren't especially interested in taking prisoners. The intelligence officers were quite displeased at that.
