If you get shot in the ass it does not mean in any circumstances that you will necessarily be shitting in a bag for the rest of your life. If someone shoots me in the lung, for example, and the bullet goes right through, I'd be happy to live with a few weeks or months of recovery and be alive. It's definitely preferable to being hit in the lung with frangible ammunition which splinters off and tears my lungs up and I get to slowly die a horribly painful death. Either with your outcome or mine, it still leads to more casualties. Buddy who is crapping in a bag can commit suicide if he hates it that much, but at least he has a choice over the dude who had an essentially exploding bullet fired into his ass and died.
And of course, the enemies of the U.S. have things that blow up. It's a bit inefficient to try to blow up every single combatant on the other side though, as far as personnel battles. Explosives regulate themselves to an extent, as one cannot carry 120 grenades with which to kill enemy soldiers, while one can carry that many or more frangible rounds.
