20'000 Soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan

11/25/4 -- Can anyone believe how dirty and dishonorable the US administration is?

The official number of US soldiers wounded in Iraq that was announced by the US DOD (department of defense) is 8458 in Iraq and 423 in Afghanistan.

Can anyone believe that the US military hospital at Germany (alone), the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, announced that 20,802 troops have been treated at Landstuhl from injuries received in "Operations Iraqi Freedom" (occupying Iraq) and "Enduring Freedom" (occupying Afghanistan).

The interesting part of the news that I didn't find these numbers on AlJazeera (the No.1 enemy of Rumy and other little bush supporters). These Numbers were published by the well-known, Department of Defense-authorized daily newspaper distributed overseas for the U.S. military community, "Stars and Stripes".

more than 17,200 from these soldiers were injured in Iraq, and more than 3,000 were injured in Afghanistan as I read in a local newspaper.

were wounded but he didn't say where he got the figure.

The US has what, eight active divisions left -- five of which are tied up in Iraq?

That leaves about 30,000 US troops to spare? No wonder they are pulling stuff out of South Korea...

... (praise the cosmic dust and rapid evacuation teams for that) but militarily it is. The US planners know it better than we do and it shows in their actions in Fallujah and currently Babil. I fear for what will happen as the casualties mount.

A sickening thing is that a couple of months ago, Rumsfailed was boasting how he was already reducing the number of US troops in Iraq. But the number coincided with the number of wounded, about 12,000 at the time.

I heard we lost a couple the other day and wondered how many have died there.
