Picking Up the Pieces From Military Sexual Assault

Picking Up the Pieces From Military Sexual Assault: "Nearly 90 percent of soldiers wounded in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - some 35,000 - survived battle injuries, thanks to breakthroughs in US state-of-the art military medicine, among them, surgical techniques, regenerative medicine and prosthetics.
