Military Times: Esper says he personally briefed Trump on the seriousness of TBI after Iran attack, now at 64 cases
In the days following an Iranian rocket attack on U.S. troops in Iraq, as reported injuries ballooned from zero casualties to 64 diagnosed traumatic brain injuries at last count, questions have arisen as to whether the military’s most senior leadership recognizes the concerns over TBI.
