"Thirty-four US service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries following the Iranian missile attack on US forces in Iraq earlier this month, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said Friday."

"The Pentagon and President Donald Trump had initially said no service members were injured or killed in the January 8 Iranian missile attack, which was retaliation for the January 2 US drone strike that killed a top Iranian general."

""No, I heard that they had headaches, and a couple of other things, but I would say, and I can report, it's not very serious," Trump replied during a news conference."

"Nine service members are still being treated in Germany. An additional eight service members who had been flown to Germany have since been sent to the United States for additional treatment."
 
Iran just seriously injured fifty US troops and Trump failed to do anything in response except walk away. What a pussy. Our troops deserve better than this coward.
 
We're lucky is this is where the retaliation stops. And minimizing the real damage only encourages Iran to strike harder.

No, he didnt just walk away. He lied to the American public, then walked away.

Did no one break an arm or sprain an ankle or something?

Dynamic overpressure caused by explosions can have a significant effect on the brain because it is encased inside the hard bony skull. The same level of overpressure has little effect on parts of the body (legs, arms etc.) where the softer tissues (muscles) are outside the bone.

Pretty obvious that Iran's so-called proportional response (duds and property damage aimed mostly at Kurds and Sunnis) does not even look like the mother of all saber rattles. Clearly, no one in their right mind in Tehran wants war with the US, and neither should anyone in America want war, or any sort of tit-for-tat, with Iran.

109 with TBI.

Of those injured, they say 70 percent have returned to duty.

So 36 were injured enough that they’ve not yet been able to return to duty.



That’s what they’re now saying/admitting.


The traitors, of course, are the ones releasing this information that contradicts the preferred state of Trump’s mind.
