'A traumatic brain injury is life threatening, not just at the time, but for the rest of your life,' the Democratic presidential candidate noted.
"A traumatic brain injury is life threatening, not just at the time, but for the rest of your life," the former South Bend, Indiana mayor told CBS News for an interview broadcast on Sunday."It can completely debilitate somebody who has served this country," he explained.
As Buttigieg noted, Trump reportedly avoided the draft during the Vietnam War after his father called in a favor with a physician. That doctor reportedly wrote a note diagnosing Trump with bone spurs, which made him ineligible for service. "This week he brushed off the injuries sustained by those brave troops who were on the other side of the Iranian bombardment and missile attack in Iraq from Iran," the former vice president said during a Friday event in New Hampshire."And he said while they were being evaluated for traumatic brain injuries, he said no, they just have headaches."
