It's not like they are just being killed by a grunt or something.

You seemed to be implying that killing off characters randomly for the sake realisms is ok (from a writer's standpoint), because that's what happens in war. I just pointed out why such mentality doesn't produce well written material. I was speaking generally about this idea, not specifically about Age as I haven't seen the death scenes yet (obviously).
We'll see how it all works out in Age. Reading some of the reactions here, I don't have high hopes, but as I've said already, I'm not going to prejudge.
