The Veterans Administration reports that about 49,000 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts were treated at a VA facility between October 2003 and February 2005. I don't know how many have served in these two conflicts, but I'd be surprised if it were 500,000. If I'm close to being correct, that means that almost 10% of our troops have been injured in these conflicts. That's a hell of an injury rate.
