Hawk, 'jet fuel fall out' just a new thought;
you know, too, Travis is not just a gulf war vet; he was a 1962 - nuclear fall out fellow from the Navy ship he served on (another post here) Why is he getting the 'run around?' I heard the USA admitted this - first time ever in 2001 & said these guys would get medical. (open sores & such that he described didn't fit the pattern of GWS)
Mortardude, Yes, where is the outrage?!
Even if they don't know what caused it; the picture of harm is there without giving the soldiers all the insults and denials.
Hawk, I was reading this article you comment on last night, and there are non active military from 1990-1991 with the same symptoms: (for the little children - careful about hugging and kissing when you come back from war - 2nd hand solvent exposure?)

Further, reports of Gulf War illnesses being reported are no longer limited to military veterans of the Gulf War. Others reporting manifestation of these symptoms include:
- Department of Defense civilians who served in the Persian Gulf War.
- Department of Defense civilians working at the Anniston (AL) Army Depot and the Sharpsite (CA) Army Depot decontaminating equipment which was returned from the Persian Gulf.
- Spouses, particularly the spouses of male veterans, are reporting the following symptoms: chronic or recurring vaginal yeast infections, menstrual irregularities (excessive bleeding and severe cramping), rashes, fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and memory loss.
- Children born to veterans prior to the Gulf War. In many cases both male and female children born prior to the war have experienced symptoms similar to those of the veterans and their spouses.
- Children born following the Gulf War. Some reports have been published which suggest a high rate of miscarriages in the families of Gulf War veterans. Further, several reports have surfaced which suggest that there has been a high rate of physical abnormalities in children born to Gulf War veterans since the war.
