WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- A U.S. military report says up to 35 percent of the 10,000 soldiers in Warrior Transition Units are dependent or addicted to prescription painkillers.
An Army inspector general's report released Tuesday says 25 percent to 35 percent of the soldiers assigned to the special wound-care companies -- established after the 2007 Walter Reed Army Hospital scandal -- "are over-medicated, abuse prescriptions and have access to illegal drugs" as they wait sometimes more than one year for a medical discharge, USA Today reported.
