Injuries compared to other wars
At least as many U.S. soldiers have been injured in combat in this war as in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, or the first five years of the Vietnam conflict, from 1961 through 1965. This can no longer be described as a small or contained conflict. But a far larger proportion of soldiers are surviving their injuries.

Antietam was America's bloodiest day... it occurred during the civil war and nearly 20,000 men died because we fought ourselves. This is what I think about war.

I wonder why you don't hear these stories on the evening news?
