“What kind of damage is that doing to soldiers in training and on the battlefields?”  Over five years ago, I reported this statement, pronounced by a member of the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force regarding the heavy weapon Carl-Gustaf rifle.  Before 2017, the federal government knew the risks of the weapon.  The Department of Defense even launched a five-year study to evaluate this risk.  I personally thought, based on later articles, that currently, there were laws preventing troops from using the Carl-Gustaf system.  However, “U.S. Troops Still Train on Weapons with Known Risk of Brain Injury,” headlined an article in the New York Times yesterday, November 26, 2023.  The article is a good reminder of the peril our troops face in war, not just from opponents, but in training and defending our country and allies across the world.
