Pentagon Undercounts Number of Troops Injured
Meanwhile the Pentagon is being accused of undercounting the number of troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you looked at the Pentagon's website last month, it would have appeared that about 47,000 soldiers had been injured in the two wars. But now the figure on the website has dropped to less than 32,000. The Pentagon is no longer including troops who suffered what it considers minor injuries or mental illness.

Since successfully serving in the Fourth Reich requires a great degree of mental illness, those troops get bonus points added onto their test scores, ergo full-time employment and thus not disabled. It's a promotion, not an injury!
