Very true. Sad part is, I'm already a busted old wreck according to the Army... I'm going thru the medical retirement process now. I'm over 20 years of service now but was under contract for another 5 years. So after my latest injury, they started the medical review board process on me. Back in December, the initial review board in Fort Gordon made the unofficial recommendation to medical retire me after 9 months worth of appointments. Now we wait while my packet goes before big Army at Fort Lewis, Washington. Where a second panel of doctors look at my appointment notes and make the official decision. If they line up, and I chose to accept it, I'm retired after 30 days.
