28,000 US Troops Evacuated to Germany
The Total number of US troops injured, announced by the DOD, is kind of fishy. It seems like the DOD is trying to hide the real numbers or something. Let's see.. The total number of US soldiers wounded in Iraq, according to DOD, is less than 16000, and there some other 658 troops from Afghanistan. Yet, the counter on Global Security indicates that 20,748 US soldiers were evacuated from Iraq. 2,913 of them were wounded in Action, 5,876 with "non-battle injuries", and another 11,959 because of "diseases". (What kind of non-battle injuries and diseases can evacuate more than 17,000!!!) But anyway, there's more inconsistency. Take a look at this piece of news that I found today: A total of more than 28,000 soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines from Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom have already been treated at Landstuhl hospital, the largest American medical facility outside the continental United States...

28,000 US Troops Evacuated to Germany
Raed Jarrar, Raed in the Middle
January 2, 2006
The Total number of US troops injured, announced by the DOD, is
kind of fishy. It seems like the DOD is trying to hide the real numbers
or something.
let's see..
The total number of US soldiers wounded in Iraq, according to DOD, is less than 16000, and there some other 658 troops from Afghanistan.
Yet, the counter on Global Security
indicates that 20,748 US soldiers were evacuated from Iraq. 2,913 of
them were wounded in Action, 5,876 with "non-battle injuries", and
another 11,959 because of "diseases". (What kind of non-battle injuries
and diseases can evacuate more than 17,000!!!)
But anyway, there's more inconsistency. Take a look at this piece of news that I found today:
A total of more than 28,000
soldiers, airmen, sailors and Marines from Operations Enduring Freedom
and Iraqi Freedom have already been treated at Landstuhl hospital, the
largest American medical facility outside the continental United States.
Where
did the 28,000 come from? And we should also take into consideration
that some of the evacuated troops go to other hospitals or to the US
directly.
Is it possible that the DOD is hiding the real numbers?
Yes, it is.
This bloodshed should end soon, and the US troops should be brought back home.
