i havent read many....but areas of concern to me are posterior 6/7 appears loss of disc height...? non displaced fx of 4 and 5 again posterior...plus the your red arrow, and the same spot next one down, C1 appears to be angled oddly and the vertebral body is highlighted sharply compared to others....? activity?
have you had trauma to your neck, even as simple as whiplash....since you are VA could this have happened in country?
