I still worked at the VA hospital when I first heard of Gulf War
syndrome. I assumed it was largely caused by chemical weapons like
Agent Orange and untreated PTSD. I had no idea it was the result of a
nuclear war using dirty bombs (depleted uranium).
For 20 years, the empire has been engaged in a nuclear war which
constitutes crimes against humanity. These facts are not covered by the
corporate media and should be passed among all citizens! (Here is a
report in the Independent about the 2010 Fallujah study. The 2nd link
has a very important 2002 speech by whistleblower, Dr. Rokke. (video).
He is very informative about depleted uranium, treatment of veterans,
and health consequences. It is worth the 57 minutes for all patriots.)
May our holiday prayers include the poisoned children of the middle east!

Dr Rokke, a military whistleblower, gives a very informative lecture on
depleted uranium. Provides more accurate count of actual US casualties
of Gulf War 1 (250,000). Comments on the lingering nuclear
contamination and generations of affected civilians (Saudi, Kuwait, Iraq)
