    i referenced concussions because they are similar, and it was also a joke, hence the fact it was put into parenthesis. That wasn’t meant to be taken straight up.

    To my knowledge, there have been studies done in the military on the effects of continual and repeated sub-concussive blasts (if that’s the correct term) that show some form of damage. It’s also been said that after the results of these studies coming out with potentially bad impacts, that they were pretty quickly shut down. Not to mention i’ve seen a number of people who have been in the military as well as people who know those who have been in the military provide anecdotal evidence of it.

    It’s certainly not solid evidence, but for something like a federal military, that’s pretty concerning.
