Look at even today, agent orange is old hat, soldiers participating in burn pits breathed in God knows what.

Just remember that when you sign up: The army doesn't give a fuck about you. You're just a pile of meat bought at a price.

Almost as if our military won't even "stand" up for the troops

John freaking Wayne couldn't get the government to admit they gave him cancer. I am not optimistic for these brave men's chances.

Is this the same place where if the water level rises, the waste spread into the sea?

You’re obviously confusing issues here and lumping them together. Let me clarify a couple of things for you and begin by stating that I am a 20 year (‘71-‘91) retired US Army disabled veteran.

  1. Your idea that “organ failure” is a result of shared needles from mass inoculations is just plain bullshit. (Cite your source.) The 20 years I spent in the Army was as a medic and nurse (depending on the unit I was assigned to at the time). I’ve been involved in giving, and receiving, many many mass immunizations. Shared, or reused, needles never took place. If there was any sharing of needles that took place it was due to illegal drug use.

  2. What does “kneelers” have to do with anything? As a veteran I support your right to stand. I also support your right to kneel. I served to protect your rights regardless of if I agreed with you or not. I don’t have the “right” to define what your rights are.

  3. You still haven’t explained your OP. Other than to go off on a rant.

  4. I’m going to take a guess here on how you get your information and say it’s from second, third, forth... hand sources because you sure haven’t spent any time in uniform.

  5. The “military” (DoD) doesn’t make policy on the treatment of former service members. Write your congressional rep.

Take note 9/11 first responders. Congress is cool with mesothelioma.

That's f*cked up.
