Do casualty totals understate the damage by failing to count people who suffered both physical wounds and psychological trauma?
Short answerNot in the source breakdown used here. Physically disabled veterans were assumed likely to carry psychological scars, while the psychological-only category was counted in addition to them.
NotesThe question challenges how the earlier casualty figures account for veterans with overlapping physical and psychological injuries. The cited source already assumed likely psychological scarring among people classified as physically disabled. A separate category counted psychological trauma without that physical classification, while deaths formed another category. The totals depend on the source's definitions, so the figures cannot be added or compared without checking those assumptions.
