Сотрястийте пошлину British поврежденных в афганском войне
Среда 21-ое август 2007
? Половина frontline собирается толпой залатанным-вверх `' Марк Townsend, корреспондент обороны
Людскую цену войны в Афганистане к великобританским воинам можно показать сегодня по мере того как на рисунки показано что почти половина войск frontline требовала значительно медицинского лечения во время воевать этого лета. В графической иллюстрации интенсивности конфликта в провинции Helmand, больше чем 700 воинам battlefield была нужна обработка с Эйприл - близко половина 1.500 на передней линии. Рисунки, полученные от старших воинских источников, никогда не были выпущены правительством, которое смотрело на критицизм который оно покрывало вверх по поистине размеру ушибов, котор вытерпели во время конфликта. Министерство обороны выпускает число воинов принятых к стационару, часть тех которые требуют обработки на battlefield. Новые рисунки относят к числу воинов залатали вверх и после того как они посланы back to передняя линия и не появляются в официальные отчеты о casualty. контрастом, рисунки США официальные учитывают воинов обработанных на передней линии. В их рисунки, wounded войска вклюают те далеко от передней линии для 72 часов или больше. Одна великобританская армия официальная сказала 700 случаев вклюают пригорошню `' офицеров вытерпели ушибы и выбрала продолжить воевать. Ушибы вклюают раны шрапнели, отрезоки, ожогы, акутовый ход жары и заболевания such as `DnV' - понос и тошнить который может incapacitate человек на дни. 700 случаев, 400 войск боя были описаны как был поэтому больной они принудились к `lay down их штифты'. Число воинов требуя front-line обработки было обсужено на воинских инструктажах в Helmand во время интенсивнейшего воюющ этот месяц и относит к в настоящее время раскрытию, которое начало в Эйприл. Оратор армии сказал официальные рисунки casualty между Эйприл и стартом от августа стояли на 204, с около наполовину stem from battlefield. Military sources said the willingness of soldiers to carry on fighting while suffering was indicative of the bravery being routinely displayed. ‘The courage of the soldiers has been remarkable. Many are getting patched up and just want to get on with it. Most do not want to leave their comrades,’ said the source in Helmand. Last week, details were released about how 26-year-old Captain David Hicks, of the 1st Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, refused morphine after being mortally wounded by shrapnel so he could keep a clear head to lead his men. He later died of his injuries. The MoD said the figures should not be confused with its published ‘casualty’ figures, claiming that cases treated by frontline medics often related to minor ailments and complaints that were not considered life-threatening or serious. The spokeswoman went on to say that, in serious cases, troops were not given the option to carry on fighting. However, the number of serious injuries is rising. A spokesman for the British Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association said that 27 British soldiers had lost limbs serving in Afghanistan and Iraq during the past 12 months. The frenetic nature of the conflict in southern Afghanistan is underlined by the fact that many young infantrymen intend to leave the army because the firefights they have survived in Helmand could never be surpassed. In terms of soldiering, the conflict has offered some of the most intense fighting for 50 years, with two million rounds of ammunition so far fired by British forces. ‘You could be in the army for decades and you will never get anything like that again. Will it be bettered? I can’t see it,’ said one soldier. Commanders are understood to be concerned that the Helmand conflict could precipitate an exodus of combat troops who feel military life will never offer the same challenge again. Campaigners have frequently argued that British troops are paying a higher price on the battlefield than has been made public. Casualty figures are expected to rise in the coming months as the current tour, from April to October, finishes, when regiments that have experienced the brunt of fighting push on to gain ground before they leave.
