Also, some of our soldiers were killed in Afghanistan the other day. Has Trump even mentioned that in and amongst his usual barrage of hate tweets?

I'd be more inclined to blame trump if he'd been briefed by Pentagon generals, instead of then covering it up

NO ONE on the right blames VP Trump* for anything, he is the greatest VP ever and Sean Hannity is the greatest non-elected President EVER!

4 more guaranteed years of record gains on Wall St and job numbers - nothing will slow him down ! 49 state landslide !

and the base claps so hard their hands bleed

I’m sure the generals didn’t brief Corporal Bone Spurs telling him there were just a few headaches. Make Trump own his lies.

1. Trump doesn't accept briefings.
2. Trump has called his generals, to their faces..."dopes and babies."

Yes, it appears 76 have already returned to duty. There are still 26 being treated.

Want to come take a look at the top post I just made on the subject. While I am relieved that the majority of individuals in this instance have returned to active duty, and that the remainder are getting the treatment they need oh, did you know that under the prior administration there was a massive Spike and traumatic brain injuries and we never heard a word about it? I mean damn if we're going to attack people for traumatic brain injury cover up then let's get to it. See you in the top post

Let's pretend.
From your link:
“It’s physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral consequences affect every aspect of an individual’s life,” he said. “A brain injury is only ‘mild’ if it is someone else’s brain. There is nothing ‘mild’ about a mild brain injury.”

What are we pretending? Was I making light of traumatic brain injury? Did you know that there are gradations of traumatic brain injury? Those gradations don't go out the window just because you want to pick on Trump. Go by all means do carry on

The VFW is still waiting for an apology from Trump for his initial dismissive remarks about the injuries to the troops.
Defend that, too, while you're at it.

defend what.. he had heard (at the time) that they were minor. what is it that you diagnosed when you assessed all of the persons in question personally? or are you perhaps a tbi expert. while no laughing matter (like belittling it to jam up a president) it does seem that it is TBI (no small thing) but most are back to duty....

Now for a little reality...

Trump’s justification for not retaliating when Iran fired missiles at us was that we suffered no casualties. That was obviously known to be a lie from the outset, as we have learned since the attacks, with 100+ US soldiers suffering TBI brain injuries. But that didn’t square with Trump’s justification for not retaliating, so he dismissed their injuries as “headaches” and rarely even mentions them.

It’s that simple.

There’s plenty more online about Obama’s efforts to address TBI. And you won’t find him dismissing TBI injuries as mere headaches.

• standards of care for traumatic brain injury treatment;
• screenings for brain injury before and after deployment and;
• improved case management

In all three instances, changes were already underway before Obama became president, but his administration made improvements, too.
