If a "mild" traumatic brain injury is severe enough to alter someone's life, wheather it be cognitively, perceptionally, personality changing, etc., then by all means that soldier should be awarded the Purple Heart. Maybe the Army should research this with families who have members with TBI & see just how live altering they really are.
