23,000 wounded and sick troops sent home

[donsu]

saw this in an article over at www.democrats.com

Jane's site had this info

23,000 is a lot! maybe the 30,000 new troops to be sent are to replace these plus the nearing 600 dead.

2. If the stories are true, they are all receiving shitty healthcare at the

Ouch. I am sorry for these veterans. They deserve better than the chimp is willing to give.

How many do they have available? It sounds like this illegal invasion has cost about 1/10 to 1/5 of our active military forces.

And it ain't over yet...

4. Two divisions would be between 20 and 25% of the total infantry force.
