To Griever, Robert McNamara or somebody said when developing the M16A1, that it is better to wound an enemy than ourtright killing him because if you kill him, they're just gone, you can't do anything, if you're wounded, comrades have to get you out of there and therefore, less men, and it demoralizes the troops.
