Abstract
More than six times as many soldiers died in a hospital than in battle. These deaths are avoidable. However, raw data seldom inspires people to do something about problems. It must be compiled in a way that the problem is clear, and the solution is suggested. Figures must be presented in such a way that it will make people stop, think, and act. How do you convince the powers that be to make certain that soldiers who are wounded fighting for the ideals that they and their country stand for do not forfeit their lives in a hospital? How do you present this information in such a way that it will make a difference?
