Trump visited soldiers at Walter Reed -- but not the 14 injured in the Iran war

President Trump made time to visit with U.S. service members during his trip Tuesday to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, but he did not see any of the 14 troops injured in the war he started with Iran who are also recovering at the hospital, according to the family of one soldier and another military official familiar with Mr. Trump's visit.
The White House said Mr. Trump met with service members during his six-month checkup at the Army's flagship medical center, but repeatedly declined to say whether the president saw soldiers injured in Operation Epic Fury.
"President Trump was honored to meet with our amazing service members and medical staff while at Walter Reed Medical Center," said a White House spokesperson, who declined to provide any guidance on why the president did not meet with soldiers wounded in the Iran war.
Sergeant Cory Hicks was stationed at an Army post in Kuwait that was hit by an Iranian drone in March, during the first 24 hours of the conflict. The attack killed six American soldiers and injured more than 20. Hicks is one of six from the Kuwait attack still recovering at Walter Reed. He suffered a lacerated kidney, a severed spleen and a traumatic brain injury.

That was visible or missing limb. Or disabilities.
That would make him clutch his pearls.
CBS trying really hard in that article to make the great leader seem like a good human being. Making sure to say all the right things. He did all that was expected of him and he should be rewarded like it was special.
