There are a number of reports on these new research findings at the USA-Today web site. Many more soldiers in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict than
previously known are at risk for undiagnosed brain trauma after serving in areas near the explosion of IEDs (improvised explosive devices).
Importantly, soldiers who suffer concussion-type injuries from being too close to IED ignition don't always remember those events. And even worse,
military doctors don't always receive full information on the trauma histories of the soldiers they are trying to care for. Here is that link:

The following day, USA Today included a Pentagon response which refused to comment on the potential total number of brain trauma problems among
Coalition soldiers who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
