She described speaking to Rodney Bearman two days after the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could just hear him breathing, and then he finally said, \u2018I\u2019m going to be OK.\u2019 I waited a few moments and then asked if he had returned to duty,\u201d she said. \u201cIt seemed like forever before he answered me, and then he said, \u2018I can\u2019t go back.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sgt. 1st Class Cory Hicks, 37, was also injured in the Kuwait attack, suffering severe shrapnel wounds and requiring multiple operations as part of his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>He said his wife was only told by the Army that his injuries were \u201cminor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey said your husband was injured, he has a minor jaw injury, and he\u2019s going to be returned to duty,\u201d Hicks told CBS News. He added that he \u201cabsolutely\u201d believes the Army and the Pentagon have attempted to downplay the seriousness of the deadly Kuwait drone attack.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2130\">Pentagon Pete Humiliated by Major U-Turn as Air Force Flu Outbreak Explodes<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>After initially being treated in Kuwait, Hicks was airlifted to a hospital in Germany before continuing his treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>Hicks said he has spent several weeks at Walter Reed in a soldier recovery unit with a \u201cpretty severe\u201d traumatic brain injury and could remain there for at least another six months.<\/p>\n<p>Trump failed to visit any of the 14 injured troops being treated at Walter Reed when he attended the medical center for his physical examination last month.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to CBS News, the Army denied the claims of a cover-up and said the families were confusing the definitions of \u201cnot seriously injured\u201d and \u201ccombat casualty.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Army said a soldier is classified as \u201cseriously injured\u201d or \u201cvery seriously injured\u201d only when there is a significant risk of death from their wounds within 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe care and well-being of our Soldiers is of the highest priority,\u201d an Army spokesperson added. \u201cAny assertion that the Army seeks to downplay a soldier\u2019s injuries is simply not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the Army for further comment.
