Whistleblower: VA Withheld Data Linking Gulf War Vets' Sicknesses to Toxic Exposures

[Peter Lemkin]

The anti-Vietnam movement really didn't get 'going' until the Vietnam Vets joined in. While the USG treats its 'finest' as just so much cannon-fodder once they are injured or killed; if enough Vets from all conflicts and periods get together and get angry....watch out Uncle Sam! Health effects from vaccinations and chemicals used on the battlefield have effected soldiers from all wars - and increasingly so! They are often used as guinea pigs for new medicines and vaccines - or given the only one available that )they think maybe) works, even thought it is known to be unsafe [or never was tested for safety]. Now Depleted [sic] Uranium and phosphorous are two new lethal battlefield elements - and while they harm the population most, the invading soldiers are not immune to it. The greatest harm, however, for most is the trauma of War - seeing what killing is really about and how often they are ordered to do things that kill non-combatants or break the rules of War. Seeing all that death and carnage by their pals [and the opponents] takes a toll few recover from and many are destroyed from for the rest of their lives. If the politicians and banksters want the wars so much, THEY should go and fight them! Old rich men start all wars; young poor ones mostly fight and die/are maimed in them. It has to end. Peace is possible if you just don't start offensive wars!
