Well, depends on what battle this question is talking of.
I'm going to assume you're talking about the famed "Battle of Saratoga" and specifically the "Battle of Bemis Heights".
That specific battle cost that dude 600 soldiers.
If you're talking about "Freeman's Farm" then that cost him around 600 guys as well.
The answer to this is entirely dependent on your own opinion. Some might believe it’s acceptable in order to keep the country safe, but others might not because they believe it infringes on individual freedoms. There are pros and cons to both sides, so you have to determine which side you agree with more.
