What’s going on at the Pentagon?<\/p>\n

The Iranians fired ballistic missiles at our forces in Iraq in response to our killing of Qassem Soulaimani, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Hey, this was a bad dude, a ruthless terrorist chieftain.<\/p>\n

The missiles landed<\/a> on our base. The Pentagon and Donald Trump said immediately there were zero U.S. casualties.<\/p>\n

Wait! Then the number rose suddenly to 34 service personnel. The brass said they suffered traumatic brain injury when the missiles blew up.<\/p>\n

Now we hear the number has reached 50 military personnel.<\/p>\n

Is this how it goes now? The public gets information handed out in dribs and drabs.<\/p>\n

We all are grateful that none of the injuries is life-threatening. Most of the personnel who were injured have returned to duty.<\/p>\n

This sloppy information release seems all too common in an administration that simply cannot seem to get its story straight the first time.<\/p>\n

The men and women who serve us — as well as their families who pray for their safety while they stand in harm’s way — need to know the whole truth all the time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
