Herd a story on the radio the other day that said we are losing are Viet Nam vets at like 10 to 20 a day and that by 2015-2020 more than 3 quaters of them would be dead.Could this be true?
Well I hope not.
That is pretty much true. Due to the effects of agent orange they used to kill dense foilage in the late 60's early 70's and many vets being exposed to it that was in the area during and after spraying. Many Viet Nam vets got cancer from it. Like many of the vets during Desert Storm 10's of thousands have died already from unknown causes and more so are dying today that is not being publicly announced. Some government claims it was due to the oil rig fires, some vets and some doctors claim it was a chemical agent that is unkonown that soldiers were exposed to in certain areas.
Not to get off the subject, but the Oklahoma City Bombing was basically done, (I am not going to discuss this as I am an engineer who knows explosives), The amount that was claimed was used by McVeigh would not have penetrated 1/32 of the building much less destroy more than half of it.
I will say this much, ALL THE RECORDS for Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Desert Storm Veterans who were exposed to something in 1991, (that the government is denying), were kept in the Oklahoma City Federal Building. Kind of strange that the government doesn't keep ALL records in one location of more than one incident and has never done so until the OKC Bombing. It is kind of strange how an incident happens that later we all find out that the government was behind it, or related to it in some way to hide something that will cost them billions of dollars or a political issue with thier name on it.
This kind of situation with many vets not keeping documented copies of their medical records and believing the government keeps all of them and will keep track of ones service record. If one has no copies, and the government makes the records disappear, one has to prove it was service related issue.
I been in 20 years and I remember my first 8 years I was in the Army, I was not allowed to make copies of my medical records. It wasn't until I started doing it covertly, (whenever I had a chance to get my medical record in my hands), to make copies of anything in concern and then some. Now many vets for years have been making sure they have copies of their medical file, because we all know, the government can't be trusted in being honest with our medical files and any service related injury or issue!
