An investigation by NPR and ProPublica states that soldiers who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are not diagnosed or treated properly with brain injuries.

The mild-traumatic injury can occur from shock waves from roadside bombs ripplling through the brain causing damage that may lead to lasting brain injury. Military figures say that nearly 115,000 soldiers suffer from mild traumatic brain injury.

The investigation found that top Army officials believe that the figure may be much higher. In their investigation they found a study that stated that when soldiers return home, one of the tests done misses nearly 40 percent of concussions.
