the article also mentions that they'd all trained extensively in diving deep underwater, which is also known to cause brain damage, but the 'interface astroglial scarring' pathology lab results sound pretty specific to big shock waves

that is to say, it's actually shell shock? as in, actual physical shock from actual shells? george carlin would be so proud
