Scope and content

Notes on an attached report of the same title. Refers to the authors disregard of casualties described as "G.S.W.", on the grounds that wounds from any weapon could be described as "G.S.W.". The figures of causation of neurotic casualties are discussed, and the danger of drawing conclusions about the comparative effect of weapons from the figures.
