The number of bullets consumed by the US military is relatively large, mainly because the US military has always cherished life. In the eyes of American soldiers, even consuming one million bullets is more cost-effective than killing a soldier. Therefore, the US military never knew how to save ammunition in combat. When dozens of American soldiers see a fire point, they will immediately pour down tens of thousands of bullets to suppress it. Even if the other side has gone far, American soldiers will fight for a while to prevent the enemy from firing a second shot.
This kind of trembling play has led to the fact that the US military rarely kills people in the war. When the militants fired the first shot, dozens of automatic rifles and machine guns fired at the place where the militants were. Of course, the militants would not stick their heads out and wait to be killed. Moreover, the us military must be suppressed for some time before it can be recharged. By the time the American troops rushed up, the enemy had already disappeared. If the U.S. military can charge while suppressing or directly charge to kill the enemy, then the amount of ammunition consumed by the U.S. military will definitely decrease and the number of casualties will greatly increase.
In fact, the US military has never relied on infantry to fight the main force. The infantry of the US army is mainly engaged in public security warfare, and the task of killing the enemy's regular army is completed with the cooperation of other arms. During the Gulf War, the American infantry did little, and the Iraqi army was already defeated. It can only be said that American infantry would rather consume more bullets than let the enemy go without taking risks. The advantage is to reduce our own casualties, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to destroy the enemy and consume a lot of bullets.
