(or) Gulf War Syndrome Message #82568 from gold_tutor at Feb 26, 2002 9:04 AM This... classic GATA "perfect squelchs" of all time: ... Brother Bob Johnson: Doug BN served up his own cajones as a sidedish long ago, I think that Bill Murphy guy ate them. ... think of Doug's "oysters" more in the frame of reference of "pea pod parts"...will that work for you?... :) gold_tutor[end.] Goodness times many aTimes i must reply to o49r/gold_tutor in regards to the "oysters" referenced by her as given to me by my mother & father. Lets see, these "pea pod parts" o49r/gold_tutor characterizes as me having would be reflected in a manner of a soldier that was assigned duty in the Gulf War and returned as a combat veteran on paper, but in reality saw less fear and faced less danger that troops inside the United States taking part in military exercises inside the boundaries of a military base using blank ammo. Plus, just as live bullets and other ordnance were excluded, except for the noise and smoke, this soldier neither obtain deadly force or gave it to another, but as mentioned in this example of me in o49r/gold_tutor eyes, i would have returned with a secret shame not for anything i done, but that trusted upon me as an honor as being a combat veteran, which was true on paper, but in reality a farce. But matters not, as fathers and mothers and the rest of America manipulated by that mainstream press to pump up the t.v. news stores to sell more expensive commercial running time slots, welcomed these deemed brave soldiers back onto safe United States soil. Yes, but these soldiers knew different, the truth, and for some they had not the ability to face reality and disclose what was a lie, not by them, but for them to carry. Result for many that felt that shame to be too heavy, and contained within themselves a low tolerance of mental anguish, they crumbled under these small and quite harmless attacks with results being quite profound, that being the ability of a brain to self destruct in ways that their physical body joins in the process of destruction. Real, very yes true, but yes its all in the mind as the source, not external as in a soldiers actual combat duty. Quite amazing this view o49r/gold_tutor has of me, as being, as i know many examples of men who show evidence of what i spoke about above, and yes the sickness has as source not any combat duty but the home folks and loved ones they returned to after they spend what was in their eyes not combat duty except for a very very few as in 1% who went to the Guld War. For sure there was exceptions to this template, but except for them the above is what is, and yes these returned combat veterans who became sick with that Gulf War Syndrome, to those of World War I and II and Korea and Vietnam, these are the soldiers that obtained "pea pod parts." As for me, well its old news, but again, i enlisted into Marines 1967 with Vietnam combat zone duty Dec 67 - Jan 69 and during this time received 3 promotions: Private - PFC - Lance Corporal - Corporal with assignment to use that rifle Chatters speaks of as not having the ability to harm what pointed towards, to use it as such and damage and kill as many enemy as possible, which based on my observations makes Chatter's view of what it does to human body parts, not true. Also, that recoilless rifle was used with very good results, and for sure E.C. would have liked its effect, and obtained a medal of which my father who did not like me and spoke never nice about me would always show visitors a medal i was awarded but myself choose not to praise. d:oug
