Trow849fj commented on Pattern of brain damage is pervasive in Navy SEALs who died by suicide   nytimes.com/2024/06/30/us... · Posted by u/thelastgallon

A lot of special forces have been doing what we used to call "door kicking" in the last few wars. Lots of explosive breaches, firing weapons and throwing grenades indoors. I'm sure this is the main contributing factor. The percussive force of firing and explosives indoors is horrible and I say this as an ex artillery officer, so I'm used to chest-breaking bangs from firing big artillery guns

Any source for this?

Artillery was around for 500 years and shell shock was hugely discussed for past 100 years.

There is much better corellation with divorce. Soldiers returns home with PTSD, only to have their house, children, savings and pension stollen. Because they were not around to guard it! And they may get thrown into prison for being too poor!

Shell shock is very convinient excuse, when victims do not get proper recovery!
