Wounded would probobly be a very hard figure to come up with. Some people think you have to be shot, some think if you get a papercut you get a PH.
There was a thread that had a pretty good breakdown of the dead (combat/non combat) as well as wounded brokedn down by severity of wound, even far enough to "returned to duty in 2 days.""The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.

Given how effective combat medicine is now, the number of injured is certainly several times the number of killed.
Here is the list:
If I understand correctly, the total number of wounded , all kinds, have been around 15,000.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Well, wouldn't that be the result of much improved procedures in getting the wounded to safety and treated?If you don't like reality, change it! me

I still remember being laughed at like I was a crazy loon predicting there would be even a thousand US military deaths...
Though I was proved wrong - the # of deaths is actually at a far greater rate than I predicted...

The actual number of service men killed is several dozen higher. The administration started a policy to not count wounded soldiers who were medi-vacked out of Iraq (normally to Germany, Qatar, or Baharain) and who later died of their wounds.Last edited by Dinner; October 25, 2005, 22:43.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
