Jonathan Hoffman, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said the eight in the U.S. will be treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, or at their home bases. The exact nature of their injuries and their service and unit affiliations were not disclosed. The military said symptoms of concussion or traumatic brain injury were not immediately reported after the strike and in some cases became known days later. Trump chose not to retaliate, and the Iranians then indicated their strike was sufficient for the time being. Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., founder of the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force, wrote to senior Pentagon officials on Thursday requesting additional details on casualties from the attack.
