Really? One reason they adopted the .223 is that troops can carry more ammo because it's lighter, of course. But I seem to remember reading, long ago, that the .223 round was also chosen in part because it's more likely to WOUND (see dead vs. wounded stats at any "mass shooting," let alone any combat engagement), and a wounded man will take three enemy out of action, since it takes two guys to haul the casualty back to the aid station.
