I mean, you did see the episode, right? You did see how they curb-stomped Grimm after Grimm after Grimm, some even being slashed in half by stabs, none ever getting even close to them, with even the idiot dog surviving a whole day without even a scratch. The closest to that that I saw was that they were getting tired and it was getting dark.

And if that was their first taste of real war...then they haven't really tasted anything. I'm sure it will be like Zolnir said, that it hasn't happened yet.

They are still "children", they haven't become "soldiers" yet. They will, however, become soldiers in Vol.3. I am talking more about the fact that the Grimm went wild on all the citizens. Granted, they could have made that more poignant by actually hinting at some citizens being killed, but overall it still had the effect of making them see what it looks like when there is nothing separating regular people from the Grimm.
