More precisely it is "STORMING YELLOW BEACH, first wave of the 2d Battalion Landing Team, 165th Infantry, wades over wide reef under machine-gun fire from wharf on each flank. At 1040, 20 November 1943, they approach the main defensive area from the lagoon. Fires from hits by big naval guns."

If they're being machinegunned from either flank, they're rather relaxed about it.

Well everybody knows the allies get so much stuff by that time in the war that casualties don't mean anything.

It's a joke. "... casualties don't mean anything." Except to the casualties!
