I hate to think Our Military or the Arthritis Foundation spent money figuring this simplistic question out. God Forbid the Government from such wasteful spending.
Osteoartritis runs in families and is aggravated by injury and overuse. Where or how a person suffered such an injury or overuse is not the primary question.
Aggravated joints happen in many different walks of life. It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that Military life has as many injuries as Farm life or stress of a car accident. A Golf, football or Tennis player is just a likely to have Osteoarthritis as a Farmer or a Solider.
