Trump Visits Walter Reed, Does Not Meet Iran-War Wounded Troops

President Trump visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a six‑month checkup and reportedly met service members, but did not meet the 14 troops wounded in the Iran war; the White House declined to explain why. Sgt. Cory Hicks, injured in the Kuwait attack, is among those recovering at Walter Reed. Officials say 409 U.S. troops were injured in the Iran war, with roughly 90% back on duty, and the piece places the visit in the context of Trump’s past remarks about wounded service members and related reporting.
