I was wondering
Lets say you are serving your country in Iraq, you know fighting them over there so they don’t come over here type scenario, would you rather:
This is all hypothetically speaking of course.
I was asking because the
50000 or so men and women that have had this happen, didn’t get to choose.
hypothetical in the sense that you would get to choose what you want blown off, not the 50000 men and women part

Legs, hands down. 🙂
Don,
Just weeping at the thought. 50,000 OMG!
reality bites
david,
pun intended?
Here are the accurate numbers. The totals are not anywhere near 50,000.
The amputee totals are much lower.

just going by what the article said, I’m sure not all of the 50k are amputees, but the point was to illustrate how many injured.
and even if it is 25000+ that is still a hell of a lot of people injured for the rest of their lives….payed by our taxes too boot.
The point is this- your numbers are incorrect. There have not been 50,000 wounded.
Your views will have more credibility if your numbers are accurate.
They aren’t my numbers dude, they are from the Denver post bra.
Depending on how you count them, they number between 35,000 and 53,000.
As of June 2, 25,830 troops had been wounded in action. Of these, 7,675 needed airlifts to military hospitals and the rest were treated and remained in Iraq.
There were another 27,103 non-battle-related air transports. Of those, 7,188 had injuries
now use your ability to add please
or feel free to read the article.
did you run for office in delaware? Christ, thank god you didnt’ get elected.
and then to appease you I even had said:
and even if it is 25000+ that is still a hell of a lot of people injured for the rest of their lives….
so if you read the article you will see that my 25000 number is correct.
now beat it.
