I empathize with your frustration, with report after report ending up on a shelf and not receiving the kind of attention and action it deserves. I've been around here for quite a while, and I've seen a lot of reports too.
I have so many questions, I really don't know where to start.
In terms of the universality of service issue—and you've touched on that—is there a disadvantage in retaining injured personnel in the military? We've heard from a number of witnesses that it would really help if people could be assigned different duties without having to be concerned about universality of service.
The flip side was on too many deployments. Because you have a limited number of personnel, those who are in acceptable physical condition are deployed too many times and are being used up. Is this something you've seen and considered?
