Casualties

So apparently our battalion commander tore his ACL playing football shortly before we got here. Then he proceeded to not have it looked at, whereupon it threw clots into his lungs causing pulmonary embolism. He got flown back to the US and released from active duty. Dumbass. Of course, the smaj now thinks this is cause to ban all sports, contact or otherwise. Another member of our HHC element went down to the desert survival course put on by the French and was medevac'd a couple days ago. Our unit has taken more casualties on this deployment in two months than we did in our entire last tour in Iraq.
