To refer to someone severely injured or killed during a war, use the word "casualty". In textbooks or articles, you would hear something like "this war had 60,000 casualties". By definition, a casualty is a person killed or injured in a war. Hope this helps!

Answer:   Casualty

Explanation: Casualty is a person who is injured, disabled or killed during an event, which may be an accident, a non-violent incident, a disaster, or a war. Usually, the term "casualty" implies the death of a large number of people during one of the above events. In the particular case of "casualty of war", human casualties are understood as an ugly expression of military defeat. Also, under this term are implied and missing and captured during war events.

6. Why did President Truman remove General Douglas MacArthur from command of the American troops in Korea?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

President Truman removed General Douglas MacArthur, for MacArthur treated the Korean War as another World War, in which he had to destroy his opposition no matter the cost (it being the communist regime, and the weapon being nuclear weapons). Truman, on the other hand, knew of the delicate usage of the nuclear weapons, and if they are used, the USSR will counter. This led to Truman removing MacArthur for rash behavior.
