Thank you, XXXXXXX ================================================================== Thank you for sending out that article. It need exposure among the general public. Most of them have no idea what is going on. My son is a Gulf War Veteran, 29 years old, and was medically discharged due to the Gulf War illness and is unemployable for 3 years already. And yet we are supppose to believe there is no Gulf War illness. Over 20,000 have died already since they came back from the war (and that's what the gov't admits to so it's probably double that or more). I personally know some of them and their families. They can die from the GW illness but yet the gov't denies them disability benefits. What really disturbs me is that when I tell people about this and that the soldiers are dying they say,"howcan you say such things. That can't be true. You don't hear that on Dan Rather." And these are people I know...friends even. Very true...that is the sad part. No we have never heard on Dan Rather or any other news media that a single one of the Gulf War soldiers have died since they came back from the war, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. They publically bragged about it being a 100 hour war with only 147 casuallities. Well, they don't tell us about the number of soldiers that came home to die on their own soil. And the terrible pain and suffering they are living with. And the families that are affected by it also. 68% of all the GW babies are born with birth defects, mentally retarded, arms and legs missing, hands growing from their shoulders etc. etc. etc. It is pathetic. And the soldiers are going bankrupt cuz they don't get any help with medical bills. Didn't mean to take your time...just wanted to thank you for putting out that article. I was very aware of the situation but I know a lot of people aren't. Thank you for helping spread the word. Keep up all the good work. We appreciate all you do and love to hear from you everyday. xxxxxxxxxxxxx DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
