Unknown News: "
Thousands of US troops evacuated from Iraq for unexplained medical reasons
Citing the US military Central Command as its source, the Washington Post reported on September 2 that �more than 6,000 service members� had been medically evacuated from Iraq since the launch of the war. At the time, the number of combat wounded stood at 1,124. A further 301 personnel had been injured in non-combat incidents such as vehicle accidents. The figure of �more than 6,000� supplied to the Post therefore implies that over 4,500 US troops have required evacuation from Iraq for medical reasons other than combat or non-combat injuries."
