In this morning's Atlanta Journal Costitution is the following head and subhead: Study: Slow decisions hurt help for Marines Tougher truck may have saved troops I would say that the word *might* should have been used, since they were not saved. *May* seems to me appropriate only if they were saved and one is speculating as to why. Is that a correct assumption? And could someone explain the differences between the two forms?
