Not Shell shock or Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. This has to do with the inoculations they were given and because of radiation poisoning from depleted uranium (DU). The figure for these two things is about 70 000.

Is this the new name for shell shock ? It's true, that many troops returning home suffer from the results of explosives being detonated too near to them. Brain injury does occur when the impact is so close that it rattles the brain. Some of the injury is temporary but some is permanent. Hearing loss is yet another injury that occurs when exposed to loud explosive devices.

I can speak from my experiences. Three of us were sent to first gulf war on special assignment. Two of us are now sick with odd chemical sensitivities. My friend's condition turned into skin cancer. I'm basically going into anaphylatic shock all the time, and taking tons of pills to stay alive. I still start to shock about once every 10 days as I come into contact with everyday chemicals.
We both have one in a million symptoms that started shortly after the war. Coincidence. I don't think so.

No, that is not true.
It is true that the FDA pulled the anthrax vaccine that Clinton orders us to take (if we did not take it we were kicked out.) I had 6 of those vaccines before the FDA pulled it and the company shut down. Now it is coming out that there were other things in the vaccine that was not safe for humans. Memory loss and weight loss are two symptoms. There was an article about it in the AF Times a few months ago.

Define Gulf War Illness.
There are over 1.5 million vets that have served in Iraq, and I think the VA has about 600,000 related cases...but most are Post Traumatic Stress syndrome.
I still think its crazy, and its a shame the VA is being sued in a class action lawsuit for "shameful failures" to serve our Veterans.
