Here's the latest on Gulf War Syndrome II:

kind of sad when you look at it.

1. same pneumonia as before

[FDRrocks]

2. saddam used bio weapons...

I could see it.

[Jacobin]

3. They're faking it to get government handouts.

That was too easy.

Try another.

[Ignis]

4. Good luck.

The conservative current/former US military personnel to whom I have spoken refuse to believe that the depleted uranium rounds used by the US military are at all dangerous/carcinogenic, despite the overwhelming number of internationally-recognised medical studies that prove this point.

So if a US soldier gets sick after service in the Gulf War I/II, then that's just bad luck, I suppose. Science? Who needs that!

6. actually most of the studies said DU was not the cause

the WHO, the European Union and several other studies said it is less dangerous than people think.

[Unknown Known]

5. Get off your lazy ass and get a job!

:mad:

[karlschneider]

8. Good thing I read the whole thread. You beat me to it!

:eyes:

7. What they usually say -

It's a volunteer Army so quit whining. That ticks me off, but it is their attitude.

[Zuni]

9. I knew something was wrong with those vaccines

I think these untested vaccines might be among one of the root causes of Gulf War Syndrome in both wars.

[lovedems]

10. They could always use Rummy's response "unfortunate"

[ComerPerro]

11. They would tell the soldier

what an anti-American, whining coward he is.


I have nothing but contempt, by the way, for anyone who is between 18 and 30 who supports Bush's wars and condemns anyone who opposes it, but isn't over in Afganistan or Iraq.

I know its off topic, but I just wanted to mention that.

[Zuni]

12. Freeper: soldiers sick from vaccines

should be paying their own bills. No free rides for anyone! socialist medicine will kill the army.

[ComerPerro]

14. I've got it!!! In the style of a typical FReeper:

"The soldiers are no doubt displaying physical illnesses that seem to be due to their time in Iraq. This is the body's reaction to the horrors of seeing firsthand just how dangerous and deadly Saddam was to the people of Iraq.

[zeemike]

13. No one got this one yet

Get over it!

[Lars39]

15. "It's just those Democrats being political again."

"Probably just a virus."


Argh. We'll probably hear everything in this thread.
