The number of US troops affected by Iran’s strike is growing steadily

The number of US troops affected by the Iranian missile attack has increased by another 14 people and has reached 64 today. The new data was presented by the Pentagon press service.

To date, 64 US troops have been diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since the submission of the previous report, a further 14 servicemen have been diagnosed with TBI. Out of a total of 39 troops, they returned to service

- stated in the US Department of Defense.



Earlier, on January 29, Pentagon spokesman Thomas Campbell announced about 50 US troops who had received shell shock during Iran’s missile attack on an American military base located in Iraq.

Immediately after the launch of a missile strike, US President Donald Trump said that "he did not affect the US military," and the US military allegedly received no damage at all. Trump then admitted the presence of shell shock, but claimed that this was a minor injury.

The Pentagon also initially announced the absence of victims, then recognized the presence of injuries in 11 military personnel, later their number increased to 34, and then to 50. It is possible that the number of 64 victims is also not final.

On the night of January 8, Iran launched several airstrikes on the US military base Al-Assad, located in Iraq. This was in response to the assassination of the commander of the Iranian unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Kassem Suleimani.

              Not so much as alarming, how much confirms that it is becoming increasingly difficult to hide information about the victims of the strike. After the strike, part of the military unit was taken to the hospital of Qatar, part of it was transferred to the hospital of Germany. I do not think that with light concussions, hospitalization with evacuation is necessary. Well, information slips through that the parents of some military personnel after this blow to this day cannot reach their children, which is a clear sign not in favor of shell-shock.

                  Greetings Paul hi It seems like that. Most interestingly, the bomb bounce algorithm is not computable.

            There seems to be some kind of additional payments and treatment at the expense of the Pentagon after military service, but a certificate must be a prerequisite that a head injury (head injury) was received during the service

          31 January 2020 09: 06
          I would not be surprised if their military subsequently begin to die from their injuries, and there are not many options: as an option, the servicemen really died on impact and this cannot be hushed up, and at the moment the dead have been transferred to the rank of "injured soldiers", and later unexpectedly type died. Therefore, when Trump said there were no losses, he was not lying. And Iran for this should be punished more than sanctions. Another option, the soldiers really did not receive serious injuries, but for this they want to receive serious insurance payments, so reports of poor health after the impact began to flow. And again, Iran must be punished for this. Well, plus to everything, there is no need to discard the internal "graters" of Democrats and Republicans, perhaps the Democrats contributed to the fact that the number of wounded increased, so that there would be an additional reason for accusing Trump.

        And what kind of tales did the Americans tell us about the invulnerable brave US soldiers ... smile ... some cyborgs are direct.

        Together with the Americans, then at this base was a small military unit from Denmark.
        Quite recently, their commander shared his "impressions" in the press.
        Say, some prayed, others shouted hysterically in horror, covering their faces with their hands. Many pissed themselves, muttered incoherently, shocked.
        And they were in the bunker. Behind thick concrete floors!
        Yes, NATO's morale is "prohibitively high!"
        I recall how in the late 80s I, then a cadet of a naval school, along with four comrades, on the orders of the commander, ended up on the small Caspian island of Wulf.
        Instead of being fired, we had to demolish several buildings of the abandoned oil industry community with crowbars. Get building materials for the school. The commander on a motorboat departed for the family - it was Saturday ...
        At this time, our Red Banner flotilla approached the islet. And began the artillery fire on the destroyed houses.
        In the first seconds, we were really in shock - the roar of explosions, the whistling of fragments, dust to heaven, the stench of burnt explosives ...
        But they got their bearings - they quickly found a basement in one of the buildings. Helping each other climbed into it. And they sat, startling from the close tears.
        No one panicked. On the contrary, they giggled and told jokes.
        Nobody wet themselves - they laughed, assuming that now our "cap" is peeing in his pants ...
        We sat for more than an hour. The feeling was like you were in an iron garage, and outside it was pounded by a hefty brigade brigade ...
        As a result - small scratches, slight concussion, whistling in the ears.
        An hour later, the officer took us. We promised to be silent and kept our word.
        We didn’t run to the editorial office of Krasnaya Zvezda to talk about our feelings ...
        All the same, NATO and we are two big differences ...

And for the people of the United States to believe that their trains are the most traveled trains in the world, the belief that the US army is simply not killed must be maintained.

              With the plane, I think the story is muddy. The Taliban did not admit that they shot down. Sluggish snot about malfunctions, debris and corpses quickly and quietly taken out.
              It could well fly into Afghanistan and the Iranian MiG or Phantom and by-and-by special board. Yes, and the S-300 to roll up and shy at the border, in the framework of combat training not for long.

According to the latest data: the failure of the engine (s), went to the forced Paktia province, communication with the board was maintained until the last.

      I am interested in material losses, how many Iranian missile fire destroyed helicopters, airplanes, and other material assets. Why are Americans not voicing this information?

      It's simple, the Yankee soldiers go to the hospital to diagnose a concussion, which by the way is very badly diagnosed, and each manifests itself in different ways, and all this to receive payments, which are very rather big. You can even beat out the status of a war veteran, with the appropriate pension, allowances, etc.

      And why the heck you scratched your finger at most, money above all))

      Well, this is a country’s habit of amers to write off losses retroactively after some time, including how not fighting. Then for historians there will be a fact of 0 loss on that day.

      Feeling the charm of receiving compensation, preferences and pensions for injuries and mental suffering, the American army is rapidly turning into a bunch of freaks and moral disabilities, lining up for benefits.

      Always in any conflicts or wars in the states the number of injured or dead was underestimated, and at times. This still went from the time of the Vietnam War, after scandalous journalistic articles. They began to press the media.

      increased by another 14 people and amounted to 64 people
      Are they there that are still struggling with powerless heads against the wall? Or, after the strike, the number of people wishing to quit serving in this region increased?

      I suspect that with such easy shell shocks in the Russian army
      a soldier would not even be sent for a physical examination.
      Tankers receive such shakes constantly.
      The Americans examined the soldiers for safety, so that later there would be no lawsuits
      to the insurance company.

      It seems that the Americans are trying to convince that Iran’s blow was significant. laughing Because the killing of Suleimani is clearly not equal to a pair of missiles that fell to the base and caused some material damage.

      Probably there. Or one paramedic for a third of the rate, who works 3 hours a day and does not have time to register a contusion. Or the people decided to cut a bunch of "purple hearts" :). But in general, "this is Vzhzhzh - not casual" (c)

      Because we do not run to doctors about constipation and diarrhea, and we never ran, you are alive. Be careful. I can be offended.
