The June death toll for U.S. troops in Iraq has reached 11, bringing a total of at least 2,484 U.S. troop deaths.
Two soldiers based at Fort Rucker have been killed and three others injured in the Iraq war, an Army spokesman said Wednesday. The soldiers, whose names were not immediately released, died in an "indirect fire attack" Tuesday, Fort Rucker Deputy Public Affairs Officer Charles Widener said.
Thousands of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan may be risking permanent brain damage by returning to combat with relatively minor but undiagnosed concussions, often caused by bomb blasts, military researchers say. Doctors say they are only now understanding the scope of the problem. Researchers screening returning soldiers and Marines at four military bases found that about 10% suffered at least a minor brain injury during combat. About 20% of troops in front-line infantry units suffered such injuries.
