What did Donald Trump claim about the military on 8 Jan 2020?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
The American people should be extremely grateful and happy no Americans were harmed in last night's attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases.
More than 100 U.S. troops suffered traumatic brain injuries in that attack on Ain al-Asad air base, as Congress later recorded.
Congress found that 'More than 100 members of the United States Armed Forces sustained traumatic brain injuries in the Iranian retaliatory attack on the Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq despite initial reports that no casualties were sustained in the attack' (S.J.Res. 68, 116th Congress, enrolled, Sec. 1(7)).
