Cover-up: Pentagon AGAIN increases injuries toll from Iranian airstrikes on al-Asad airbase, this time to 34 First the Pentagon said there were 'zero casualties'. Then early reports about some 200 injured US troops being flown to Israel for treatment were retracted as 'fake news'. Then they admitted 11 casualties. Now, just over weeks later, the Pentagon has increased that number to '34', and 'promises to review how it reports injuries'..The spokesman said it remained unclear as of Friday whether the Defense Department would award Purple Hearts to the service members diagnosed with TBI from the Iranian attack. The Purple Heart, an award to recognize wounds inflicted by an enemy combatant, is approved for troops who receive TBIs in enemy attacks that are diagnosed by military medical professionals and result in 48 hours or more of duty missed as a result of those injuries, according to awards records. It also remained unclear to which military services and units the injured troops belong. Hoffman said the individual services would likely announce that in the future, but the Pentagon was concerned about medical privacy laws in releasing such information.
