VD and scar....

[Jon Skagfeld]

Alex:

I've read that the 41.4% figure of reported VD occurrences was a compounded statistic.

i.e., if Pvt Bloggins reported to the MIR with a dose, and did so 10 times, that would be a hellishly high reported rate of infection.

However, if Pvts A, B,C,D,E,F,G,H, I and J reported to the MIR each with a dose, that would produce a totally different set of stats.

This is all notwithstanding the fact that the VD rate in any war has anything at all to do with the conduct of the war.
