i spent 6 weeks at walter reed (as a physician) and saw first hand the wounded...two things struck me that will never leave me...these soldiers are kids...i was amazed at how young some of them were...and second their injuries are devastating...when we read in the paper that 5 soldiers killed and 30 wounded i think we do as big fish suggested - take it for granted...because those 30 wounded are likely in horrible shape...and if one is not in the medical field i think it can be hard to grasp the life-long affects of these injuries...as these ied's get more sophisticated, the injuries become all the more devastating...
as for the coniditons there, i did not see what has been reported but that certainly does not mean that it does not exist...
