New report on a possible Gulf War chemical effect, may be similar to Viet Nam’s Agent Orange in the way that the VA treated it. However, the VA may have learned and is reacting quickly to this new discovery.

Comment from my source:

One of the guys I copied on this, XXXXX, was my CC over there. He emailed me back last night that it’s documented that we ‘dusted’ 20,000 prisoners!
I remember being on the platforms as they would come in as part of the search routine prior to processing them into the compounds. So they came to us already dusted, then we dusted them right before we searched them, all in close quarters. I don’t recall any respirators or masks…at most, we tied a piece of cloth around our face, similar to what we did during sandstorms. Not much protection there, and now the thought occurs to me that using that same cloth, without decontaminating it, just held the dust (and other things) and the next time we used it we likely inhaled whatever was lingering there.

I feel OK, but you never know what lurks on the inside. You may remember that I have had a rash on and off. My concern is that I don’t want a lump showing up in my chest or bum and for civilian medical folks to think it is there just because I’m old dude. At least, hopefully, if I am a patient at VA, then someone may raise an eyebrow.

Here’s the video:

If you were in contact with Iraqi POWs during Desert Storm or the current Iraqi war, you may want to contact the VA about filing a claim.
