This was not C.T.E., the report said. It was a characteristic pattern of damage that has been found before in military veterans who were repeatedly exposed to weapons blasts during their service.

It looks like NYTimes @David_Philipps reporting is unlocking resources for veterans with blast-TBI. How effective is the treatment they'll be offered? We need to prevent injury and protect warfighter brains

the concussive force from each grenade explosion largely dissipated by the time it reached the pits, but not the sound wave ... The soldiers in the pits were being hit by sound waves measuring up to 160 decibels more intense than the sound energy of a jet engine.
