Originally posted by prion View PostNot to nitpick (okay, just correcting) it's Afghan, not Afgan.Basically, soldiers in the Middle East are coming back with more survivable TBI (traumatic brain injury) than in any other conflict/war. If Greer had sustained brain trauma (even a concussion) it could account for his behavior. Many soldiers get conked on the head and don't seek treatment, which is causing lots of problems... that would be believable in Greer's case, or PTSD.
But the long term affects of combat on soldiers can lead to personality changes. Many soldiers that return from combat can still function perfectly fine, some are visibly affected, some less so but still have problems. I know people who suddenly go quiet when they here a particular song, they clam up because they will associate it with a friend they lost because it was their favourite music or they remember them listening to it or singing it.

And, one good head injury can alter personality forever as well. It would be interesting if TBTB tackled TBI... but don't think so in this instant.
Any bets on *when* we find out what's been bugging Greer to make him so angry? I 'm thinking it will 2010 before we find out...

Originally posted by prion View PostIn some respects, that's standard for any person. Play a song, they'll remember something special to them. Smells are the most powerful of the senses to bring back memories. But that isn't as prononced as PTSD, which can alter behavior patterns.
