Many Ukrainian brigades have at least one, and often several, amputee soldiers still on active duty — men who returned to combat out of a sense of duty amid the grim outlook for their country.

    Hm… A brigade consists of 3000 to 7000 soldiers. And the article says “many” have one or several amputees. That would mean something between 1 in 7000 and 5 in 3000. Yeah, that’s in the ballpark of a tenth of a percent or a hundredth of a percent. True, not terribly significant. Though, many of them are probably good trainers!
