Interesting change in methodology. They are now reporting the wounded in 2 categories:
Wounded In Action- returned to action within 72 hours
Wounded In Action- not returned to action within 72 hours
This makes sense, particularly in terms of giving an idea of the seriousness of the wounding. Good job on a more informative way of presenting the stats.
Edited: I've removed some stuff which was false.... apologies to anyone who read it :oops:
Re-edit: Actually, maybe it wasn't wrong... the re-shuffling of the official WIA figures appears to have resulted in a significant drop in numbers of officially wounded. Apparently, several hundred soldiers who were classified as wounded originally are not classified as wounded with the new system.... forgive the confusion, but I'm .... well, confused.
