Gulf War Syndrome Is Real, Panel Concludes


From News Services
Tuesday, November 18, 2008; A14


A report released yesterday concluded that Gulf War syndrome is a legitimate condition suffered by more than 175,000 U.S. Military veterans who were exposed to chemical toxins in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

The congressionally mandated report could help veterans who have battled the government for treatment of a wide range of unexplained neurological illnesses, including multiple sclerosis and brain cancer.
I saw that this afternoon too! Isn't it nice that after almost 20 years of our soldiers suffering, a commission being convened and finally filing their report, that they are able to report that what these people have gone through is REAL???? Pardon my sarcasm here... but am I the only one who wants to slap someone around for wasting money on a commission and not doing the right thing and HELPING these people right from the start when it became clear that something was very, very wrong?...Arrrrgh!
