TBI is caused by actual head trauma. It isn’t a stress related illness. TBI is actual brain damage, resulting from a severe trauma to the head. It can and often does result in permanent impairment. This isn’t some imaginary injury, it is real and it is prevalent. Twice a week, I feed 10-12 of them breakfast, because they are unable to feed themselves. Maybe you are an expert at “how these people operate” but you should do some research on traumatic brain injury, before you determine that it is a non existant or uncommon problem. Sure, the media is sabotaging the war effort by publishing negative stories. But, there are many seriously injured soldiers that deserve our sincere respect for their sacrifice. Confusing the two plays right into their hands.
There may have been a point in this thread where I mistakenly referenced PTSD. If I did, it was a momentary lapse. I do think these men have a serious injury. I do not think it is purely psychological. I do think it is related to shock wave trauma on the brain. I appreciate what you are doing for these men. Thank you.
