Trump Mocks 100 U.S. Troops Injured in Iran on His Watch: ‘They Had a Headache’

'The Republican candidate bristled at the idea of taking accountability for the tragic event, and instead mocked U.S. troops. “What does injured mean?” he retorted. “Injured means, you mean, because they had a headache?'

 

Donald Trump once again showed his disdain for United States military personnel.

from your OP article:

 

"When taking questions from reporters during the event, a journalist asked Trump if he thought Israel should retaliate against Iran’s Oct. 1 missile attacks against the nation. The reporter also asked if Trump believed he should have been “tougher on Iran” during his presidency “after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 on U.S. forces in Iraq,” which left “more than 100 U.S. soldiers injured.”

 

The Republican candidate bristled at the idea of taking accountability for the tragic event, and instead mocked U.S. troops. “What does injured mean?” he retorted. “Injured means, you mean, because they had a headache? Because the bombs never hit the fort.” [emphasis added]

...

"In 2020, the Defense Department confirmed that 109 U.S. service members were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries after Iran attacked the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq. At the time, Trump appeared to dismiss the severity of the injuries and said, “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.”

Another in a long series of anti U.S. soldier comments by Trump, as the article elaborates on his history in that area.

 

His kind of comments as quoted above should bring shame to the list of retired military officers who publicly endorsed Trump the other day. Those retired officers obviously have no true respect for their country or its Constitution, as they are publicly supporting an attempted insurrectionist for president.

 

But now, it appears those officers likewise have no respect for the men and women who served under them, given that they continue to support a politician who continually disrespects the military's ordinary soldiers who defend the U.S. and its citizens.
