It’s not like the government just sends a pile of unknown generic soldiers into battle. The military has records of all the personnel under its command, and all of the soldiers have their own records stored somewhere, along with their families and property, and so it’s not a complicated matter to discover who came back and who didn’t. The individual military units also know who’s under their command and how things progressed, what kind of casualties they’ve suffered, and that information will be reported back through their chain of command in order to resupply the unit.
