12 KIA huh? Well admittedly, 12 out of 2,800 is a lofty sacrifice.



Put it in context. West Point has only a few more KIA than the Citadel, yet West Point commissions far more into the military than does the Citadel. Among those who serve in the military, there are far fewer officers than enlisted, so comparing 12 to 2800 makes little sense. The Citadel's losses have been disproportionately higher than the losses incurred by West Point and Annapolis, and higher than the rate of loss incurred by enlisted soldiers.
