WASHINGTON - The Pentagon said on Friday that 34 service members had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury following missile strikes by Iran on a base in Iraq earlier this month, a number higher than the military had previously announced.
Last week the U.S. military said 11 U.S. troops had been treated for concussion symptoms after the attack on the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq and this week said additional troops had been moved out of Iraq for potential injuries. Hoffman said the service members were being treated on an outpatient basis and were transported back to the United States in order to be closer to their pre-deployment bases.Hoffman said the military had seen symptoms like headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light and nausea.
While the U.S. military has to immediately report incidents threatening life, limb or eyesight, it does not have an urgent requirement to do so with suspected traumatic brain injury, or TBI, which can take time to manifest and diagnose.
He has made the same ingorant comments about NFL players.
Oh shame....little mommies boys...a true soldier would handle it!!
Trump and Iran lie left right and center who is trust worthy here yanggang

He mocked them. Like this wasn’t a real injury. Any soldier still support this buffoon
'All is well.'
“Appeared to”? He said no one was hurt. Stop softening Trump’s transgressions, media. If you’re not reporting accurately, you’re just contributing to the muck.
Do we actually know the severity of the injuries? Injuries can range from mild concussions to severe permanent brain damage.
It's the Trump Clique! Lying and Cheating as always. Truth still coming about the impact of Iran's missiles strike on US base in Iraq!
Trump ( Captain Bone Spur ) said the injuries weren’t serious some had headaches he didn’t say that some were sent to Germany and then to the US for treatment I guess for something more than a headache
trump is calling this injury a simple headache
America used to elect war veterans as president, what happened.

🤨😣😡
How do you diagnose traumatic brain injury? This thing takes time I believe. I am not defending anyone but just saying the logic is missed here.
Lol Trump literally standing between two lovebirds MSM and War
kuku27 This is fourth statement which is yet more damaging and contradictory, fluid situation
He freaking said the head injuries were head aches! This is the guy Republicans are willing to die on the hill for!
I also hear a lot of mechanics have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury as a result of engine rattle. Time they change trade I guess
“Appeared”? Full on lied.
This is Reuter’s attempt to smear the president. TBI only occurs after continuous amount of abuse to the brain. stick to business and finance, hire some new Analysts.
Hmmm I call bullshit. I wonder how WWII vets feel when they hear this shit. They were pounded on relentlessly by the Germans and Japanese and kept on fighting...
'Traumatic brain injury' = concussion
I thought the US military had anti-missile missiles. Where were they? Israel has an Iron Dome doesn’t it?
realDonaldTrump doesn't use his so he wouldn't consider a brain injury very traumatic or serious.
The Iranians gave them 2 hours notice of the bases being targeted, this is more about the incompetence of the US chain of command than it is about the intent of the Iranian regime.
Of course Cadet Bonespurs did, he doesn't have any empathy or class NationalEmbarrassment
Another example of Trump lying 🤥
concussions.
'Appeared'?
Sending positive energy to those injured serving our country. This information should never have been hidden from us!!!
How can you possibly say that he appeared to downplay the injuries. He didn’t appear to downplay them he totally committed to downplaying them. Enough with the all sidesisms. Start speaking the honest truth RightMattersTruthMatters
is this a report or an editorial?

What exactly are these traumatic brain injuries? Let's go down to details
Sounds like Fake News Media want to start a WAR with Iran.
He doesn't care about troops. He thinks it makes him look weak so he pretends they aren't really injured.
Fake news guys. Trump was only told of minor injuries , he didn’t yet know about the brain injuries .
Realy, brain injury..? Is there any brain by US solders...?
Those troops will receive a check for the rest of their life.
this sounds like pure propaganda and i am not even american.. I mean what do you expect as a soldier?
🙏

Diagnosed with a concussion in lay mans terms
Ok, Do we have a new medicar term !!what does it mean exactly ?
But el trumpo said it was just headaches? Please fact check him.
But..but..Trump said there were no injuries, you mean...he lied?
