Just an FYI. There was a discussion about service-related injuries in /r/medicine a few days ago. Their perspective of service injuries and the causes is interesting. Worth a read but avoid posting there as they have strict rules.

He’s a stellar soldier, kept his nose clean, got his higher education, and has made plenty of good post-retirement job contacts. He’s already applying and interviewing and contacting references. I have a great DoD position that...
