It's just a concussion [View all]

3 dead, dozen injured some with “concussive injuries.” That means TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury.

Anyone here see the tv commercials by Wounded Warrior Project? See those guys who don’t have a scratch but they can’t speak, cannot control their limbs, must be fed and dressed? That’s TBI. The concussion from being close to the explosion of 500 lbs of explosive or more causes irreversible damage to the brain.

Will Trump invite them to the White House for Big Macs?


During his first term he was at a service at Arlington where a multiple amputee sang The Lord’s Prayer. Trump told his staff he never again wanted to be seen wit “someone like that” because they don’t look good.
