Probably every single one of them Karmen. Battle Drills and training with live rounds and ordnance and all the other 'bells and whistles' thrown in to make training as close to the real thing as possible....pale in comparison to the real thing.. blank rounds don't kill or wound, but live rounds do; Artillery simulators (or something similar) don't leave gapping holes in the ground or sheer off limbs, but live Arty rounds do; Thunder flashes (or something similar to simulate grenades) don't fragment into pieces to kill and maim, but the live grenades did.

The majority Karmen, never had a clue as to what the real thing would be like.
