I found it surprising that a large percentage of current era vets have a tbi rating because of proximity to an expolsion even if no secondary damage is present, but VN era vets in close proximity to explosions cannot get a tbi service connection. I assume explosives must be just that much more powerful now than in the 60’s.

The mk40 rocket hitting 5 ft from me with 6 lbs of high explosive I thought was pretty nasty, but no service connection for tbi for the severe tinnitis it caused.

Many Doc's when they hear TBI, go huh,... what's that. We had the Vietnam Protests, the Anti-Draft protests, the Drunk Driving protests, the March of Dimes, the Jerry Louis Telethon, Walkathons for this or that,... Where is the Brain Injury Protest/Telethon/Walkathon?

The Vietnam boy’s with ARTY don’t have a tbi rating either. 8 inch and 175’s will do considerable hearing damage, ear plugs didn’t help.
