The New York Times0:09reports dozens of American service0:11member injuries were deliberately kept0:13from public disclosure, raising serious0:15questions about what the military is0:17hiding.0:18According to the Times investigation0:20published July 25th, the Pentagon has0:23been withholding injury figures that0:24standard military protocols require be0:26made public. This follows an earlier0:29disclosure that nearly 100 US service0:31members had been wounded in just a0:3214-day period, a number that itself was0:35only revealed after a 14-day delay. The0:37central question now, just how many more0:40injuries remain undisclosed? The0:41timeline tells a troubling story. The0:44Pentagon waited 14 days before0:45acknowledging nearly 100 wounded from0:47the period starting July 7th. Now the0:50Times revealed that dozens of additional0:51injuries beyond that figure were0:53reportedly withheld, never released to0:55the public or to Congress. Republican0:57Representative Don Bacon of Nebraska is1:00among those leading the charge for1:01answers.

The Pentagon has1:36responded by calling the allegations of1:38withholding unfounded, insisting it1:40follows all disclosure rules. But with1:42the New York Times report in hand and1:44bipartisan anger growing, the pressure1:46on the Defense Department to come clean1:47is only intensifying.1:50For the wounded troops and their1:51families, this is deeply personal. They1:54want the nation to to what they1:55sacrificed, and they want the full1:57honest cost of this war told openly.1:59Tonight, the Pentagon faces an2:00accountability crisis, and Congress is2:02demanding answers.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexคลิปสั้น ↗
