Heads roll at Veterans Administration
Mushrooming depleted uranium (DU) scandal blamed
Out of the 580,400 soldiers who served in GW1 (the first Gulf War), of them, 11,000 are now dead! By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on Permanent Medical Disability. This astounding number of ?Disabled Vets? means that a decade later, 56% of those soldiers who served have some form of permanent medical problems!? The disability rate for the wars of the last century was 5 percent; it was higher, 10 percent, in Viet Nam.
The VA Secretary (Principi) was aware of this fact as far back as 2000, wrote Bernklau. He, and the Bush administration have been hiding these facts, but now, thanks to Moret's report, (it) ... is far too big to hide or to cover up!'
