Casualties don't die.
-
one's usually taken to the casualty ward for treatment the other to the mortuary, never to be a casualty again in this world.

According to my dictionary this is the definition of each: Casualty - An occurrence of death by war, accident or disease. Fatality - a person killed in an accident or by War. Basically they are the same thing. Just two different terms to use.

Casualty is either wounded or dead. Fatality is always dead.
-
Technically, I don't think there is a difference. Possibly in the way they died, but to be honest, both terms mean they're dead.

In the Marine Corps a casualty is someone wounded enough to be taken out of the fight, while a fatality is... well... terminal. In the Fire Department a casualty can be a deceased person. Two different organizations, two different definitions. I prefer to think of a casualty as a living, but "scuffed" person.

neither word will mean much if you ever become one...

I believe casualty is a more general term related to a loss of some kind. A fatality is specifically about a death.
