October in Iraq - 433 wounded, 42 dead American military

I just saw this number at http://lunaville.com and was startled by the high number of wounded; I knew about the number of dead.

1. does 'wounded' do it justice?

i mean these arent papercuts these guys are coming away with, these are lifechanging injuries... permenantley maimed otherwise they wouldnt have bothered to count them in most cases (im guessing) how many of these people will lose thier job or have to change jobs due to an amputated limb or something (considering alot of these guys are either full time military or reservists with physical jobs, ie law enforcement, construction, ect). most of my uncle's reserve unit is made up of the sherriff's dept. which he is also part of.
