Who will the rehabilitation centre rehabilitate?

摘要

The Defence and National Rehabilitation Centre was recently opened with 200 beds, 80 reserved for "seriously wounded soldiers" (Military Medicine, February 2010). It seems destined to fill a nonexistent need. Government figures show that, from 2014 to 2017 (inclusive), only one member of the armed forces was killed by "hostile action." With a working ratio of 10 injured for every fatality, this leaves very few physically injured soldiers to fill the 80 beds.
