"Cite and supply your statistics to back up your claims that a 25 year old woman would ROUTINELY HAVE FRACTURES SUCH AS THOSE EVIDENCED BY TERRI: LUMBAR SPINE, BOTH KNEES, ANKLES, RIBS, and FEMOR.

I never made any such statement or claim. You completely ignore and delete the subject of osteoporosis.

But there is plenty of evidence of fractures without the necessity of battery or outside trauma, one I'm sure anyone that served in the military can attest to. Shin splints, heel splints, knee fractures, condyle fractures- all due to marching on a hard surface. These involve young men in their physical prime and did not suffer from osteoporosis.

Unless somehow you believe that they were "worked over pretty good".

They may not be "worked over pretty good", but they are "worked out pretty good". In the infantry, they are often carrying about 80 to 100 pounds of gear, supplies, and fire power for many miles over rough terrain. It's not surprising they are pushed over the amount the human body can support without causing problems.

No I don't. Please make a relevant statement, AS PERTAINS TO TERRI, about what are the statistics for 25-year-old women and their LIKELIHOOD to have SUCH EXTENSIVE osteoporsis and to such damaging effects as YOU CLAIM IS POSSIBLE with Terri.

Shin splints, heel splints, knee fractures, condyle fractures- all due to marching on a hard surface. These involve young men in their physical prime and did not suffer from osteoporosis.

PLEASE MAKE POSTS that RELATE TO TERRI. Was Terri in the military that she would have had osteoporosis from MARCHING? No.

Please keep your "guesses" on track with what's relevant to guess about. Terri was not 80; Terri was not in the military. Terri was a young woman. I know this is hard for you, but let's STAY FOCUSED ON HER.
