The tooth story was amazing.

Well, Timmy, I guess the obvious conclusion that any birdbrain could arrive at is that a military career has more injuries than clerking at Dairy Queen.
From the BBC article:
"Newly published figures show that more than 5,000 of the wounded have been unable to return to duty.".....on the other hand, 5,000 "wounded" returned to duty.
Wounded includes a wide range of injuries including very minor injuries.
Just adding a perspective that the BBC, 24/7 anti-American, won't.
Want to take a stab at how many auto related deaths and injuries occured in the past year on our highways just for purposes of perspective?
