Today at Davos, the conference for billionaires + others, Trump dismissed traumatic brain injuries (#TBI) sustained by US soldiers in Iraq as not “serious,” and referred to them as “headaches.”
But here’s the thing — they ARE really, really serious.https://twitter.com/weijia/status/1219953112817045506 …

Our reporting ***again, in 2010*** revealed the ways the US government failed to diagnose, treat and even take seriously the condition. More than that — they even denied soldiers with
#TBI purple hearts.https://propub.li/37jKjuXPrikaži ovu nit -

But not everyone gets access — even still. It continues to destroy the lives of both US troops and civilians. Don’t believe us? Clock the responses to THIS thread

“Headaches and a couple of other things”. Cover-up. We don’t know how badly these troops were injured and he isn’t going to tell us. He doesn’t want us to know for obvious reasons. Deliberately minimizing it. Were there fatalities? If there were we’ll never know.
