This war will kill far more US soldiers, and it angers me that I still don’t understand what for exactly? The majority of the reported injuries are TBIs (Traumatic Brain Injury). Veterans with TBIs are also nearly twice as likely to die by suicide compared to veterans without a diagnosed brain injury, according to data from the Department of Veterans Affairs. So this will be another generation of soldiers with lifelong impairments. More than 460,000 service members were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries between 2001 and 2023, according to VA data. They are often forgotten when people speak about the toll service members and their families pay when the commander in chief makes bad decisions.
