The Pentagon has suddenly reduced its official count of wounded US troops by 15 without providing an explanation, lowering the total from 428 to 413. The unexplained adjustment has raised suspicions about the accuracy of the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS), which tracks military casualties. Sources and former officials suggest the system may be undercounting the true number of wounded service members. The discrepancy highlights potential issues with transparency in military casualty reporting.
