Pentagon leaves 20,000 out of wounded soldier tally
A USA Today analysis of data provided by the Army, Navy and Department of Veterans Affairs has found that “at least 20,000 U.S. troops who were not classified as wounded during combat in Iraq and Afghanistan have been found with signs of brain injuries.”
The numbers “show that about five times as many troops sustained brain trauma as the 4,471 officially listed by the Pentagon through Sept. 30.” The uncounted cases compiled by USA Today are “not reflected in the Pentagon’s official tally of wounded, which stands at 30,327.”
PINK FLOYD – Brain Damage
In any medical setting including trauma unit (Level 1), TBI IS considered a medical condition.
It is only in the fairytale world of the Bushies that you decide to “omit” a specific form of injury to skew the statistics.
Unless of course, you happen to be unlucky enough to suffer from TBI – after all, if it doesn’t exist, they don’t have to give you any type of medical disability support (or your family).
Just think folks – we can now ignore medical conditions instead of treating them..
Welcome them to the 7th Century….which way are the warlords?
Basheert:
Yes, this is another way to screw over our soldiers! Nauseating, isn’t it?
It has nothing to do with screwing soldiers. It is about misleading the public.
