I often think about just that.
Is it because if the wounded were sent home to get medical treatment, the public would see - first hand the cost of the war?
Reading about casualties in a newspaper is a far cry from going to see the doctor and running into soldiers with missing body parts, eh?

No actually this was the policy applied in the late 1960's and early 1970's we would go to a local VA center for some occasional treatments and received scripts in mail.
