<p>Have we been drastically under-estimating the number of casualties from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Bob Woodruff <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=2904214&amp;page=1 ">believes so</a>. Money quote:</p>

<p>While the U.S. Department of Defense says that there have been about 23,000 nonfatal battlefield casualties in Iraq, Woodruff discovers — through an internal VA report — that more than 200,000 veterans have sought medical care for various ailments, including more than 73,000 diagnoses for mental disorders.</p>
