To all the liberal pundits saying, “Iran attacked American troops while Trump was president and injured 109 Americans.” That’s not true at all. Iran sent rockets into Camp Taji in response to us killing Gen Soleimani. I was an Intel Analyst back then, and Trump’s interaction with Iran in this specific incident is what caused me to vote for the first time in my life - for Trump in 2020. Iran told us they had to respond, or they’d have a coup in their country. Trump told them if one American was injured or killed in their response, he’d obliterate Iran. Iran gave us the grid coordinates and time of attack so we could move our troops to the other side of the base. I saw the reports for all 109 “injuries” as I was the casualty analyst on my team. There were no injuries. There were complaints of a headache from several individuals who were then diagnosed with a concussion because of those symptoms. It’s a subjective “injury.” They were all pretty far from the impacts, but claimed they still had headaches from the blasts. A concussion diagnosis gets you a Purple Heart, so that’s why these troops were reporting headaches en mass. That’s the truth. 13 rockets landed inside of Camp Taji that day, and not one soldier was killed or injured. That’s when I knew Trump commanded respect on the global stage, and he won my support.
*edit* meant to say Al-Asad Air Base, not Camp Taji.
@MattForVA Not accusing any soldier of anything “untoward” but are you saying these “injuries” were fabricated for medals & compensation?
@MattForVA @Timcast Wait, a concussion gets you a Purple Heart? I should’ve been submitted for multiple if that were the case 🤣
@MattForVA @Timcast It makes sense. I was 20 in Iraq and my leadership did not tell me they were all finding little things to get Purple Hearts for. Meanwhile I was actually injured but got nothing since I didn’t know I had to put myself in for awards 🤣
@MattForVA So a rocket attack on an American base isn't considered an attack on American troops. Fuzzy logic.
