The Pentagon says 34 service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries resulting from Iranian missile strike. Leaving Davos, Trump said, "I heard that they had headaches and a couple of other things...I can report, it is not very serious."
Trump went on to say he didn't consider them serious "relative to other injuries that I've seen. I've seen what Iran has done with their roadside bombs to our troops. I've seen people with no legs and with no arms. I've seen people that were horribly, horribly injured..."
Per the Pentagon, here's their status:
— 8 service members were flown to the US from Germany for treatment
— 9 are still being treated in Germany
— 16 were treated in Iraq and have returned to duty
