I would agree with this. As I studied history, modern historians have taken the approach to assume that opponent casualties were lower than the recorded values. In ancient warfare, armies included baggage trains with many noncombatants like women and servants. The idea of the true casualty number of fighting men being 1/4 the stated number comes from the fact that 1/4 of the population is a man of age to fight. Ancient records included entire populations of people in order to boost their own prestige when in reality only about 1/4 of that population could even put up a fight. So for niggers, half the population is male so half of 12% is 6%. Of that 6%, about half is old men and young boys. So 3% is probably much more accurate.
