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 …

Even mild TBI can be devastating. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, problems w/ memory + reasoning. Once troops come home, they can have trouble driving a car down the street or comprehending their children’s homework.https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1219957242692358146 …

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/37jKjuX1 reply 21 proslijeđeni tweet 55 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži 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

(And yes, soldiers now get Purple Hearts for TBIs – the Army acknowledged the severity of so-called invisible wounds.)https://propub.li/2RCO9J4

As you probably know, we’ve continued to report on the military. We still want to hear from active duty service people (specifically Navy) who have had difficulties treating mental health issues sustained during service. Confidential form here

Odgovor korisniku/ci @propublica
Am permanently injured by a TBI, son permanently disabled by a TBI, a close relative is active duty military member - this clip literally made me burst into tears. I've been disabled for 27 years & in constant pain the entire time, bc "headaches". Brain injuries are real.
