    "By that he means that 11 of his soldiers have been medevac'd for TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. "

    No. That's not what he means. Soldiers were screened for injury as a matter of "an abundance of caution" and procedure. Despite initial reports of no injuries on the day, some (current number unreleased) have ongoing symptoms a week later.

    One world renowned dead terrorist responsible for 1000's of deaths and targeted by Trump, is still dead - forever.

    “Out of an abundance of caution, some service members were transported from Al Asad Air Base, Iraq to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, others were sent to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, for follow-on screening,” said Col. Myles Caggins, spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve. “When deemed fit for duty, the service members are expected to return to Iraq following screening. The health and welfare of our personnel is a top priority and we will not discuss any individual’s medical status.”

    A separate U.S. defense official speaking on background confirmed eleven Americans had been sent out of Iraq for treatment.
    “As a standard procedure, all personnel in the vicinity of a blast are screened for traumatic brain injury, and if deemed appropriate, are transported to a higher level of care. At this time, eight individuals have been transported to Landstuhl, and three have been transported to Camp Arifjan,” said the official."

    “About a week after the attack some service members were still experiencing some symptoms of concussion.”
