Shouldn't it be decreasing if the situation was improving for the Nazarenes?
No, as the engaging and killing of the enemy increases so does the casualty rate of the good guys. 61 soldiers in a war over seven months is less than 10 casualties per month. We lose that many in the morning drive to work in one day where I live.
