This is noteworthy. The NFL and the US military are collaborating on efforts to get their employees to stop trying to "gut it out" with respect to head injuries.
I hope that this works--I can say from personal experience that there is a lot of history and game culture at work that discourages players from telling their coaches that they have a concussion and need to come out. And it's even worse in combat units--no one wants to be the guy left behind and not contributing because of an injury that can't be seen or understood by your fellow soldiers.
