Donald Trump likes GIs with thick skulls ... Pentagon Says 34 U.S. Troops Suffered Brain Injuries

[Denizen]

Unfortunately, no US troops have skulls as thick as Donald Trump's skull.

34 US troops were diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Donald Trump and his chief advisor, bedwetter son-in-law Jared Kushner, were surprised and shocked by the strength and accuracy of the Iran attack. They were expecting more like the piddling mortars and simple rockets that militia in Iraq use.

None of the US missile defenses stopped any of the ballistic missiles Iran aimed at US installations in Iraq.

Iran demonstrated they have the power to damage US installations all over the Middle East and Afghanistan and to destroy Dubai, Bahrain, and Kuwait if those countries are the origins of attacks against Iran. It also demonstrated that US ballistic missile defenses were powerless even though the US had advance warning of an impending strike. Certainly, Trump would have been crowing if even one of USA's patriot missiles knocked out an Iranian ballistic missile.

Trump's Middle East strategy is a failure. Jared Kushner needs to get back to his skills, which is ripping off real estate investors.

Eight U.S. troops diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) arrived in the U.S. on Friday, according to Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.

Hoffman said those troops are among a total of 34 American servicemembers diagnosed with TBI after the al Asad airbase where they were stationed in Iraq was hit by missiles fired by Iran on Jan. 8. The attack was in reprisal for a U.S. drone strike Jan. 3 that killed top Iranian general Qassed Soleimani.

It was at least the third time U.S. officials have had to revise President Trump's Jan. 8 claim that no Americans were injured by the Iranian missile barrage.

"No Americans were harmed in last night's attack by the Iranian regime," Trump declared at the White House hours after the Iranian attack. "We suffered no casualties." ...
