'Trump, speaking in Davos, Switzerland, said journalists would “have to ask the Department of Defense” about whether possible traumatic brain injuries were serious. Then he said that he did not think they were, “relative to other injuries that I’ve seen.”' washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

"We can track that if you're really interested in it" means if you're not we won't because we really don't care about our injured soldiers.

.@adegrandpre , the next time you have occasion to speak with .@EsperDoD can you please let SecDef know that a handful or so of us American citizens have a passing interest in the safety & well-being of the troops defending our freedom. If he could be so good as to keep us posted

Misrepresenting the attack on a government facility? If I remember my Benghazi correctly, that's five years of hearings.

Is he incompetent?
Or is he choosing to be ignorant so he doesn’t have to say anything that could make Trump look bad?
He knew Trump had been asked about the soldiers.
He should have been prepared for the question.

Oh, but I guess Trump is a expert since he seems to think a TBI is not serious injury like missing limbs or PTSD I don't know what he's thinking.

Exactly!!! Esper is not a doctor, therefore he should not
agree with ignorant Trump for his inhuman treatment
of our troops!!! Maybe we should let Trump and his children to fight our wars to pay for all the $$$$ they stole
from us!!!! Retweet
