Trump Called Out by US Troops over War Cover-Up

Wow, it's going to be the 3rd star in the 3rd star.

A couple of years after the high school.

“I don't know if that's what I want to do.”

Stream up to the 13th of April, parallel to the U.S. star, which is a new episode. That's the problem. And there's a part with the title track. There's no way back.

Before I get out of it, I go to the house of the dragon and wake up. All of it is only 2 hours and 90 in a month. Streaming won't be so wow. Very good, very good, very good. Very good?

This star is very good. It's a whole lot. Cool, what do you say? The world is a computer-built, focus-man-need chip, finance-tip, that's what it is.

Mega, but that's quite complicated. Well, just a few photos of the low-stoe building makes it very good. It's very good. It's very good.

Aldi, gutes für alle. Donald Trump is blocking catastrophically injured soldiers from the war in Iran, from getting the medical attention that they need here in the United States as part of a broader coverup of the serious injuries

that have taken place. In this war in Iran, the Trump regime has been saying that 90% of the injured service members, which total they claim around 500, have very minor injuries are not seriously injured

and are able to return to combat, if necessary. This has been proven to be a lie.

First off, I think we all know

that the Trump regime is likely understating the amount of service member injured by multiples. Remember, back in 2020, when Iran retaliated against Donald Trump's assassination of General Solomani, remember the Trump regime first claimed

that there was 11 people that were injured in Iran's retaliatory strikes, but they were non-serious, just some headaches. Remember it turned out that it was 10 times that amount. It was over 100 soldiers at a base in Iraq

who all suffered very serious traumatic brain injuries. So if you take the current number that the Trump regime is claiming of non-seriously injured soldiers from the current catastrophic war in Iran, which they claim to be 400 to 500,

I would just multiply that by 10,

“and I think that's probably a low estimate”

of the true amount of people who were actually injured, but CBS did this story where they spoke with some of these catastrophically wounded soldiers who are being deprived of medical attention, and this includes some of those soldiers

who were at the base in Kuwait, the trailer, that was not being protected by the Trump regime, which was hit by an Iranian drone, were six service members died that we know about, and these catastrophically injured service members

who had shrapnel wounds who barely survived and clearly have traumatic brain injuries, they say, and their wives say, that they're not even being allowed to have TBI traumatic brain injury tests,

because the Trump regime is classifying them as non-seriously injured, they can't get access to medical service,

and they're basically being told

that they need to return to being back on duty. I mean, it is absolutely outrageous. I wanna share with you the CBS exclusive, but then I wanna remind you of what the Trump regime has previously done

in covering up these types of injuries before, including during the first Trump administration. So here's the scoop, wounded soldiers and families, accused the army of downplaying war injuries, and it said how Pete Heggsett, the Defense Secretary claim

that they were only 400 injured American service members in the catastrophic war in Iran, but that they were non-serious injuries, they were minor injuries, but now a lot of those soldiers

and their spouses are going public

that they need.

“For example, Chief Warrent Officer Rodney Barman's body”

was riddled with shrapnel after the Iranian drone,

hit the workstation, which is basically a trailer

that was left unprotected by the Trump regime. The Iranian drone hit it on March 1st, killed six people, six service members, and the injuries to Burman included a massive concussion, hearing loss, vision loss, serious damage to his lungs

as a former litigator having handled, no car accident cases, this is a quintessential example of what would be a traumatic brain injury, which is permanent and disabling, but the army classified Barman's condition

as not seriously injured, and now he's not able to get certain surgeries and procedures and evaluations. He wasn't transported to the right places for treatment which probably was medical malpractice and compounded his injuries and the permanent status

of his injuries. His wife says it's completely unacceptable and CBS and other news outlets reporting that there are, dozens and dozens of other people who were saying the same thing has happened.

Another story they highlight is Sergeant First Class,

Corey Hicks, I'll pull up a photo of Corey Hicks and his wife right there. 37 years old, severe shrapnel wounds from the drone blast, he suffered serious injuries but according to the Trump regime's medical reports,

this was just a minor jaw injury. He needs to be returned to duty immediately. These are non-serious injuries and Hicks says, they're not even letting me get tested for a traumatic brain injury.

They've done no neuro exams. Let me repeat that, Hicks is saying no neuro exams. And now the Army spokespeople are slamming these service members and calling them liars and saying the Army pushed back and said

that these people are not seriously injured, that the care and well-being of our soldiers, our highest priority and any assertion by these service members that they're not getting the best care. The Trump regime says is an utter lie

and then the spouses of the service members basically said, we're around them. Like we know that they have traumatic brain injury and they're not able to function, but the Trump regime says, nope, not seriously injured.

You don't get to get the treatment here at Walter Reed or at our facilities. We won't even do neuro tests on you. So let me just remind you though right now. Oh, first let's go back to 2020, the initial cover-up.

“Trump kills Soleimani, remember the Iranian general,”

Iran retaliates and then the Trump regime covered up in 2020, that when Iran retaliated and hit a base where there was a hundred U.S. soldiers, hundreds of soldiers had traumatic brain injuries. The Trump regime said minor headaches.

This is what Donald Trump said after the retaliatory strikes by Iran, this is from 2020. Here, play this clip. We're actually injured in the retaliatory strike that Iran put forward a couple of weeks ago.

Listen to his response. - I heard that they had headaches and a couple of other things, but I would say, and I can report, it is not very serious. - Not very serious.

- The central traumatic brain injury is serious. They told me about it numerous days later, and it has to have to ask the Department of Defense. No, I don't consider them very serious injuries relative to other injuries that I've seen.

- Then in 2024, during the campaign, Donald Trump continued to say that the troops had minor headaches, and it was no big deal and anyone who said that the troops were hurt is a liar, play this clip.

“- Do you believe that you should have been tougher”

on or on after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 on U.S. forces in Iraq, leaving more than 100 U.S. soldiers injured? - So, first of all, injured, what does injured mean? Angered means you mean because they had a headache

because the bombs never hit the fort.

- Now, remind you that Governor Walls during the debate with J.D. Vance pointed this out as well, but J.D. Vance said it was a lie. Watch how pressured Governor Walls is here, no one calling this out here. Let's play this clip.

- Thank you, Senator. Governor Walls, do you care to respond to any of the allegations? - Well, look, Donald Trump was in office. We'll sometimes hear a revisionist history,

who we had a coalition of nations

“that had boxed Iran's nuclear program in the inability”

to advance it. Donald Trump pulled that program and put nothing else in its place. So, Iran is closer to a nuclear weapon than they were before, because of Donald Trump's fickle leadership. And when Iran shot down an American aircraft

in international airspace, Donald Trump tweeted, because that's the standard diplomacy of Donald Trump. And when Iranian missiles did fall near U.S. troops, and they received traumatic brain injuries,

Donald Trump wrote it off as headaches. Look, our allies understand that Donald Trump is fickle. He will go to whoever has the most flattery or where it makes sense to him. Steady leadership like you witnessed today,

like you witnessed in April. Both Iranian attacks were repelled. Our coalition is strong, and we need that the steady leadership that Kamala Harris is providing.

- Now, I'll remind you what Pete Higgs had to say, during the war where he said 90% or more are very minor injuries. No one's really seriously injured.

Here's what Higgs had said this time around,

and this catastrophic war, and he said, you know, they're all being able to report back to duty. There's no big deal here to play this clip. - Yeah, right there. Green jacket.

- That's quite the most dangerous. - Mike breast with the Washington Examiner. How many American casualties have there been? And where were the American service members when they were injured?

- I mean, it's a bunch of returned to duty. So we've had a whole, the large, large majority have gone in for some medical treatment and returned to duty. We've had, in Kuwait, Jordan down across the southern flank,

a little bit of variety of places, most from one way attack strikes. - When I would clarify that, I think what we tried to do here, is clarify those numbers rather than saying KAA or WIA,

wounded, be more clear about that, because the overwhelming majority, almost 90%, thank God, are returned to duty, minor injuries for turned to duty, and so that number can look a certain way in our jobs,

you can add some fidelity to it. - Absolutely right here, yeah. - And here's Donald Trump downplaying the casualties in the war. Let's play this clip.

- It's like an anaconda. You'll talk to them, but you're slowly squeezing them to death. - And not good, Bill. - Okay, I'm sort of like,

I mean, I'd like to get a deal now, less than three or four weeks ago, because, you know, once you do this, I just, you could just go step further. But I don't know that America has the appetite

to do what I would really much prefer doing.

“You remember in Iraq, I said, don't go in,”

but they went in, they made a big mistake.

It should have never let you know that war lasted 10 years.

- Go tens of thousands of people. Minions of people, but both sides, millions of people, nobody ever reported that. - And just so you can see Sergeant Hicks for yourself. Here he is with his wife,

and you can see the condition that he's in. I mean, this guy is clearly suffering from major, major catastrophic injuries. A catastrophic TBI, and the fact that he can't even get a neuroexam right now is outrageous.

Here, let's play this clip of him. - You know, I'm like a, a buzzing noise, like a, louder and louder, like really quickly. I remember turning my head to the left, and I seen the nose of that drone hop through,

and as soon as it did, I knew what it was. You could see there a missile or a drone, so I turned to my right, and that's when I blew up and just blew the whole building part. - Hicks is now recovering from severe

shrapnel injuries at Walter Reed in Maryland. - Yeah, and he reported that he can't get neuroexams. They're not testing him right now. This is what Donald Trump has turned the VA into. It's absolutely outrageous.

Now, you'll also note that when Donald Trump visited Walter Reed for his own suspicious physical, which apparently he saw 22 specialists, he refused, as you know, to meet with any of the injured troops from the catastrophic war in Iran.

He refused to meet with them, and because he didn't want to be photographed with any of them, because he's downplaying the injuries, and he doesn't want anybody, he doesn't want anybody to be seen as being injured around him,

because he knows, and probably knows that there is way more than 500 people who have been catastrophically injured. Again, my own estimate is that it's probably in the thousands of catastrophically injured,

“and I think that the death tolls probably more than the,”

I've heard 13, 14, I think the death tolls significantly, more than that, and turn on the US.

I mean, but, you know, because Trump always covers this stuff up.

I mean, you're talking about 6,000 Iranians, close to 4,000 Lebanese,

“we're talking about innocent, mostly innocent civilians,”

mothers, children, civilians getting killed, and I'll just remind you that Donald Trump has previously said

to Mary and Adelson, who's basically the big funder of,

who's given Donald Trump hundreds and millions of dollars to move the United States embassy to Jerusalem, and to pursue some of the policies that got us involved in this catastrophic and unlawful war in the first place with Netanyahu.

Donald Trump said that giving the presidential metal of honor

is in much bigger prize than the congressional metal of honor,

because for Donald Trump, you know, when soldiers are really injured or they die, he goes, "I'd rather just be a civilian." That seems like a much better reward to get.

“Remember, he said this, so disgusting here, play this clip?”

- I have to say, Maryam, I watched Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Maryam the presidential metal of freedom. That's the highest award you can get as a civilian. It's the equivalent of the congressional metal of honor,

but civilian version. It's actually much better because everyone gets

“the congressional metal of honor that soldiers,”

they're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it and she's healthy, beautiful woman. (audience applauds)

And they're ready to equal. - Well, there you have it folks, let me know what you think. Really disturbing behavior by the Trump regime.
