How many have been wounded in Iraq?
I heard Jim Webb on This Week yesterday, and in the middle of the interview he talked briefly about how many soldiers have been wounded in Iraq. I uploaded the clip, and you can see it below. It includes a snippet from Bob Woodruff's special on wounded soldiers.
So, Paul Sullivan says over 200,000 wounded. Webb says the VA currently has a backlog of 400,000 applications. How many soldiers have actually been wounded in Iraq? I've heard rumors about this for years, but these are the first sources I've found in anything like major media.
If it's true, no wonder the military medical system is breaking down.
Edited to correct Sullivan's number.
