Reply #8: The number of wounded average about 10 a day

many of them seriously enough that they have to be evacuated to Germany for treatment.

The Washington Post carried a story about this several days ago in which it told of a daily flight of C-17s that arrive in the US carrying wounded that have already been treated in Germany. The wounded are then ferried by smaller C-130s to towns near their homes having a VA medical facility. According to WP, Central Command does not report the wounded unless there are killed in action.

I think that the number of wounded is about 4,000 of which roughly 1,500 will require long term care.

Now, if Nora knows of higher figures, then I think that we are in deeper shit than what I have come to believe.
