34 U.S. Troops Diagnosed With Brain Injuries As a Result of Iran Strikes

This did harm. Photo: Handout/IRIB TV After the Iranian government fired a barrage of missiles at U.S. military bases in Iraq earlier this month, many impacted American service members reported suffering from concussion-like symptoms. On Wednesday, the U.S. president was asked about the severity of these soldiers’ injuries, during a news conference in Davos, Switzerland. “I heard they had headaches,” Donald Trump replied.

On Friday afternoon, the Pentagon announced that 34 U.S. service members had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries as an apparent result of their proximity to the exploding Iranian missiles. In retaliation for the U.S. government’s assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, Tehran launched a missile attack against heavily fortified U.S. bases in Iraq on January 8. Iran’s decision to strike a hard target — and telegraph its attack — was ostensibly intended to avert mass U.S. casualties, and thus, a major escalation in its conflict with Washington. In this respect, the strike was successful.

On the one hand, it seems vastly preferable for Trump to downplay the costs of Iran’s retaliation than for him to do the opposite. The president may have dismissed American troops’ potentially incurable brain injuries as mere “headaches” out of a narcissistic refusal to concede that his Iran policy had had any ill effects.

On the other hand, it is hard not to think about what would have happened to Barack Obama, had he dismissed the wounds of U.S. soldiers as not “very serious injuries, relative to other injuries that I’ve seen,” or to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had she referred to a potential Iranian attack on U.S. installations in the Middle East as “a little noise.

بابا اینجا تومانور با دشمن فرضی شهید میدن اونوقت اونجا ۳۴نفربراثر موج موشک و کلاهی که سرشون بود ضربه مغزی شدن که اگه بازهم تو ایران بودن نهایتاً چندتاژلوفن ودیکلوفناک بهشون میدادن میگفتن پاشین برین خودتون رو لوس نکنید

Much in the same way that Trump is a real headache.

The President is a germophobe who freaks out at the sight of blood and can't travel more than 20 feet without a golf cart.

34 troops diagnosed with brain injuries days after Trump dismissed them as 'headaches'President Donald Trump initially said no one was harmed during the Jan. 8 Iranian ballistic missile attack on bases in Iraq that house U.S. troops. That's more than triple the number originally reported and coming just days after Trump downplayed the injuries as “headaches” Why is the truth always compromised with this administration? Our esteemed Commander in Chief dismisses these instances of traumatic brain injury as mere “headaches,” and thus claims that no American troops were wounded in the Iranian missile strikes. Maybe he would take them more seriously if they were bone spurs.
