Only we can be the judge. An interesting film. I only hope that the word can and will get out. This may have some stressors.

Your average citizen who has never served has a hard time believing that their own government would poison it's own soldiers and then cover it up for years until they die. The more experience you have with the military and government the more skeptical you become of their denials and excuses. It is about money. It is always about money. You follow the money and you find some government contractor who gave money to Senator X,Y,and Z, and then harmed American troops like DOW or Haliburton.

This has probably been the biggest cover up that VA and DOD has ever been implicated in. It is also a subject that most americans don't want to see or hear about. The admistrations from G.H.W. Bush through G.W Bush placated us with board reviews of what. Most of the evidence has been missplaced (destroyed). I recieved my SMR a few weeks back and from Aug 1990 to the day I ETS'ed May 1991 the records opf shots and a very serious medical emergancy are missing and there is no record of what happened to them. A letter I received frrom St. Louis only states that the records are not available. I and probably thousands of soilders, sailors and airmen are in the same situation. As a Gulf War Vet I m not seeking monetary compensation only medical care and testing specific to this illness.
