Pattern of Brain Damage Is Pervasive in Navy SEALs who Died by Suicide

Longtime Navy SEALs like David Metcalf, shown with teammates in a photo from a personal collection, are exposed repeatedly in training to the blasts from detonating explosives and firing weapons.

It's considerate to the taxpayers, that they volunteer to unalive themselves.

@#4 ... that they volunteer to unalive themselves. ...

yeah, that's the problem I have here.

From the cited article...

... A military lab found distinctive damage from repeated blast exposure in every brain it tested, but Navy SEAL leaders were kept in the dark about the pattern. ...

So... they were not told of the dangers that seemed to be known.

That is wrong. So very wrong.

That's offensive. Rein is a total idiot, but you know better than that.

Having stuff explode near you isn't good for you?

Weird. I'd have thought it would be really healthy.

"A military lab found distinctive damage from repeated blast exposure in every brain it tested, but Navy SEAL leaders were kept in the dark about the pattern."

The knowledge "being a Navy SEAL will drive you to suicide" could have compromised mission effectiveness.
They had to hide this from the Navy SEALs, to protect our investment in the Navy SEALs.
If you don't agree it's because you don't understand how our military works.

Marijuana promotes neurogenesis, thus it's been stigmatized as "drug abuse".

The American Medical Association is fraudulent, corrupt and cruel.

Next do a study of veterans who had severe heat stroke while on duty, on operations. I am convinced there is significant risk for long term disability of somewhat the same thing, brain damage.

They need to study privates before and after boot camp and MOS training to get a baseline.

Probably not going to be a pretty picture.
