Additional US service member diagnosed with brain injury from Iran attack

One more U.S. service member has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury following Iran's January missile strike in Iraq, the Pentagon announced Friday.

The new diagnosis brings the total number of U.S. service members who suffered brain injuries in the attack to 110.

"From al Asad to Germany and the United States, the military's medical professionals continue to work diligently to ensure the appropriate level of care for our service members, which has enabled 70 percent of those diagnosed to return to duty," the Pentagon said in a news release Friday, referring a military base in Iraq.

"The department is committed to delivering programs and services intended to lead to the best possible outcomes for our service members," the statement added.

Over 100 U.S. service members with brain injuries from an attack?! A not a word from anyone associated with them or the military...

I just don't know who benefits from this constantly-changing, drip, drip of a story about big bad Iran.
