I just saw that statistic on a TV program that is a tribute to our military. It talked about the damage of TBI, Traumatic Brain Injury. As we could expect from history after other wars, there is a horrific lack of medical care and a terrible toll on the families fighting red tape to get treatment for their injured loved ones.
Recently, I attended a lecture on what to expect from those returning who have PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This war is not going to be over when it's over.
I agree with Colin Powell when he says we should suport our troops, and years ago when he referred to invading Iraq as "you break it, you buy it". Unfortunately, he also gave a speech supporting Bush and the other war mongers.
