I read his post, read your post, and then posted that he was correct before even seeing that Bluesman that had already done so. While English is actually a very quirky language, the meaning of ChosenOne's statement is actually pretty straight forward. It's meaning is objective - it can only be interepreted one way. The "all" is used in ChosenOne's statement is an indefinite pronoun used to replace "EFPs, mortars, and rockets." You are trying to insert the use of all as an adverb describing "how many."
Bluesman has already written twice on how ChosenOne would have had to write the sentence to have conveyed the meaning that you are trying to read.
