AFGHANISTAN Thousands of American soldiers have been wounded during the long tenure of the U.S. military in Afghanistan (2001-2021). The U.S. government has tried to send the best doctors to provide the best possible care, even under field conditions in a war zone. This soldier is proof of that.
He suffered a severe facial injury as a result of the blast. He lost part of his nose, soft tissue was torn and his lower jaw was crushed. Photos show the progress of his plastic surgery in one of the field hospitals.
