Gulf War Veterans

Am reading a book The Medical Mystery of the Gulf War (The Medical Mystery of the Gulf War) by Jeff Wheelwright. Was on sale at Barnes and N. Apparently not a big seller.
The first story sounds almost like those "crazy VN vets"..along with 1 vet's fight with the VA to recognize he was not crazy and his symptoms were very real...later discovered to be biochemically related to exposures to a few things the govt. wouldn't discuss. Now, of course, we all know what these were!
Very good reading if you are into military history stuff. This was written in 2001..only 10 years after the incident..That's better than 30! Am sure more will be written as time progresses and thanks to you and older vets who seem to still be sprouting symptoms of Agent Orange long after the 2 year window of exposure.
VN vets must stay politically active to protect their own rights and those of their children.
OK..enuf..just get wound up on this.
Love to all you gorgeous and precious few still here...Caroline
