From 0 To 100 - Iran Missile Attack Brain-Related Injuries Spike
Remember when the Pentagon told everyone that the initial casualty report from the Jan. 8 Iranian ballistic missile attack on Ayn al-Assad airbase in Iraq was zero?
Then the casualty assessment went from zero to 11 to a few "headaches."
Then by Jan. 24, The New York Times (NYT) revealed that the count jumped from 11 to 34 American soldiers diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
One week later, on Jan. 31, the Pentagon admitted that "14 more U.S. service members have been diagnosed with TBI since the Iranian missile attack targeting U.S. forces at two Iraqi bases this month, bringing the total number to 64."
Now, IRAQ- U.S. officials confirmed to Reuters that new total is over 100 American troops have been diagnosed with TBI since the missile attack, up from 64, or about a 56% jump in cases since the last report on Jan. 31.
In summary, confirmed TBI cases went from zero to 11 to 34 to 50 to 100... and who knows where from here:
1/08 – 0
1/17 – 11
1/24 – 34
1/31 - 64
2/10 – 100
