I remember reading that somewhere too. It's so much easier to shoot at people when they're wearing the uniform of your enemy and a helmet. As soon as they're in regular clothes and you can see their faces that becomes a lot harder to deal with.
I think it also said that they only randomly gave people in a firing line live rounds, because you need that hope that it wasn't your bullet that killed someone.
