I heard him say, “traumatic brain injury”. I used to transcribe statement for ins company. I heard that. TBI from where? four months in Iraq - apparently not combat role. If somebody has a TBI, that would be a wounded warrior. Why would he state that Lopez was not a wounded warrior? Messin’ with other TBI’s heads that they weren’t ww? You just never know any more what their motives are (the spokespeople.)

A motor vehicle accident off duty perhaps? One guy in my shop was in a MVA and a Quad with brain trauma for life.

He can have a traumatic brain injury in the service active duty and technically not be a wounded warrior. Wounded Warrior means in most cases Line Of Duty Injury under fire, IED, etc. If Private or even General Smith is driving home from the base and has a motor vehicle accident with injury they are not wounded warrior designated.

The designation is so treatment gets to Line Of Duty first both in the service and later on the VA. Combat injury with Purple Heart gets you highest priority IIRC. If you are low priority even with a more severe injury you likely will still have to wait till others are treated.

Anyone knowing the system better please feel free to correct me on this.
