US Military has history of NOT SUPPORTING our sick soldiers

at end of VietNam, we used a defoliant called Agent Orange
it was great in removing green life in forests
but it caused unexpected health problems, even death
for anyone exposed to its harsh chemical nature

sadly and ironically, Genl Elmo Zumwalt's son died later
he died a horrible death

after the VietNam War, the US Veterans Administration denied responsibility and connection
billions and billions of dollars would have been handed out

at the end of the Gulf War, as the oil fields were detonated, many chemical explosives were apparently tossed in for bad measure
no definitive clarification of either what was exposed or what the health consequences

about 5000 US soldiers now suffer from Gulf War Syndrome
their claims have been denied by the Veterans Administration

the US Military asks them to make sacrifices, even die
but they dont support their soldiers when they develop health problems
instead, they delay until the soldiers are dead
until their surviving families tire from the legal struggle

I expect more of the same in new ugly ways soon
