Supportin' the troops
On the heels of the Bild-Yor-Own-Armor-Plating® scandal, comes a report from the New England Journal of Medicine that a severe shortage of surgeons in Iraq has left US Army medical teams in the country scrambling to handle the largest number of casualties since the Vietnam War.
The medical system is "overwhelmed by the scope and severity of injuries" among troops in Iraq, and the survivors often have injuries so severe that "their prospects are uncertain." Soldiers who survive the initial blasts and field treatment are suffering at high rates from later complications, such as death.
Ummmm, Rumjob, if "You go to war with the Army you have," then what the #ucking business did you guys have starting this war in the first place???
