A House Oversight Committee has slammed the US Navy for not conducting any tests or research to determine if its fighter pilots are suffering brain injuries. The report comes alongside mounting concern about severe neurological damage resulting in mental health conditions for pilots and aviators.
As per Stars and Stripes, a report by the military and foreign affairs subcommittee found that despite the suicides of three Super Hornet fighter pilots in recent years, the US Navy “did not take meaningful action to address the issue,” and that warnings have been disregarded.
