3. A lot more badly wounded are coming back from Iraq-

Edited on Thu Aug-11-05 09:52 AM by meganmonkey

because of improvements in equipment and on-site medical attention, many are surviving that would have died in previous wars. This is also keeping the fatality rate relatively low. BUt then the VA is completely overloaded...

I'll try to find links....

edit: this one is interesting - compares Iraq casualties to Vietnam
