In the latest major revelation contradicting the White House and Pentagon significantly downplayed casualty count regarding the Jan.8 Iranian ballistic missile attack on Ayn al-Asad airbase in Iraq, The New York Times is reporting that a total of 34 American soldiers have been diagnosed with serious head injuries ranging from concussion to traumatic brain injury.

Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman confirmed the much higher number Friday, after only a day ago the official toll stood at eleven after an initial Jan.17 statement, with at least eight of those which were considered serious enough to transport to a hospital in Germany. Hoffman said up to half of the 34 have already returned to their military duties, however, and 17 are still under medical observation.

I believe they had at lease one hour forewarning.

Missile flight time was, I thought, closer to 5-10 minutes. Though yes, Iran did warn Iraq in advance. Iraq isn't saying if they warned the US, which could be taken to mean they did.

This is "laffable"...Beyond snickering.

No blood ran??? Then there were no wounds, injuries or whatever.

The missiles were aimed at installations not personnel. If they had wanted to, the Iranians could have used fuel air explosives which would have killed thousands. They Iranians warned the Iraqis because they were shared facilities. The Iraqis warned the Americans an hour before the attack. TBI does not require bleeding. American helmets are very heavy. Any sudden impact produces brain damage. Researchers believe that many juvenile behavioral problems were actually caused by a brain injury. Syrian Girl had video of Iraqis on their side of the base talking. She translated. She had an in depth report. Both the US and the Iranians decided to restrain themselves though the Neocons inside the WH are acting up again.

That's what REMFs do.
