If you kill the enemy you've got one less soldier on the front line. If you wound a soldier it takes 3 people out of the battle field (evacuation + the wounded) and consumes lots of resources behind the front line.
I think the ratio is 5:1. Regardless the rationale is spot on.

You're right... 5 to 1 rings a bell.

Never waste a grenade, they are hard to come by and you might need one someday.
Legend has it that Eva Peron carried a hand grenade in her purse at all times.

He'll be more than a little haunted.
