Thousands of our vets are coming home with mysterious illnesses, yet they are going unrecognized and uncompensated by our military, our government and our public. Viewed by many as a new Vietnam, our current presence in the Gulf is more dire than just a prolonged, wasted effort. It is coming to light that over 600,000 Iraqi citizens have died in the confl ict as well. Both Americans and Iraqis have suff ered illnesses never before seen as a result of armed conflict.In addition, our brave men and women have suffered from the effects of many known toxins, yet continue to go undiagnosed by their doctors. The facts are showing that many of our soldiers were given contaminated anthrax and botulism vaccines, as well as pesticides which caused gastric and neurological disturbances. Many sat for months on end in tanks, equipment and machinery coated with dangerous and radioactive materials. Are our soldiers to be treated like guinea pigs and subjected to known harmful toxins?
Veterans from Gulf War One continue to suffer mysterious symptoms, yet they are being told by the government that they have Post Traumatic Stress, a so called psychological disorder not based on any physical cause. Why do our government agencies continue to deny the severity of our vets' symptoms or that they stem from real causes? Why do they dishonor those who serve our country so bravely by telling them that their illnesses are in their heads? Their statements are not what the facts are showing.
