1 out of 5 Confederate generals were killed.(1/2 were wounded) Compare that to 1 out of 40 US soldiers killed during WWII, and 1 out 50 during Vietnam.
It was pretty much a given that any battle would have a casualty rate of 15-30 %.
Some regiments and in some cases whole divisions(Picketts char...
