Rieckhoff in WSJ: Veterans Differ With Trump Over Injuries From Iran Missile Attack

President says U.S. injuries in attack in Iraq weren’t very serious; veterans say his comments were ignorant

Mr. Trump’s comments are “really counterproductive because we’ve worked for the last decade-and-a-half to highlight and educate people about the invisible injuries of war,” said Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and host of the Angry Americans podcast. “He really displayed remarkable ignorance about what could be the signature injury of our generation.”
