If you spend long enough in the military, you will get hurt at one point or another. If you have 5+ years and you haven't been on at least one profile, then I don't know whether to be impressed or confused.

Whether permanent or temporary, when you are hurt there are certain limitations to what you can do. Do you feel the military is doing enough with these personnel? Do you think 3 saunters around "the block" is enough to ensure those people are staying physically fit?

I vote note based on my experience of course that was 10 years ago. One unit that had I was in was probably the best but no were as good I got into a disagreement with the 1SG over doing last man up runs (Indian Runs/Fartlicks) there were three of us that were run at own pace and distance and we had been running together for 6 months and pretty much knew each other capabilities. I made a decision to limit the sprints because there were four of us and on that day two of the people were having bad days with their knees. Needless to say 1SG chewed me for changing his training schedule and I started to argue then realized I was not going to win and acknowledge I did change the training schedule. After he was done I politely asked if I could explain and he gave me about 30 seconds. The rest of the units I were in profile pt was a joke and most just went home early.

Not in the least.
I think if we are truly trying to reinforce the Soldier-Athlete program than we need to get sports medical professionals at the Brigade level at the very least. This will allow us to develop a individualized program that should help us keep the Soldiers that can recoup from their injuries.
