Holly williams got a firsthand look at the extensive damage. She spoke with soldiers who said they had just minutes to take cover. Most in bunkers that werent designed to sustain a direct hit from a Ballistic Missile strike. The concussion symptoms were caused by the over pressure that happens when 1,000 and 2,000 bomb war heads go off and similar to symptoms soldiers suffered when a roadside bomb goes off near them. The 11 soldiers receiving additional screening are expected to return to iraq when they are deemed fit for duty. Were hoping they get well very soon.
