Did The Gulf War Cause Birth Defects, associated press

After returning from Desert Storm my son was born with 5 birth defects of his heart. There has been an unusual number of children like him born with birth defects. Depleted uranium is one of the suspected toxins we were exposed to which isn't mentioned in the video. I received a letter from the Department of Defense a few years ago admitting that there is a higher instance of birth defects in gulf war veterans. Beyond an admission there is nothing more the government is doing to help us.

@Merlin5by5 you would say it is fake there were many letters like the one I got sent out and I am sure if your were an X-ray tech you would have little knowledge of all the letters the DOD is sending out,

I wish you the best and am sorry for your animosity towards me but I am no longer going to feed the troll

[gooneybird999]

@Merlin5by5 Hmmm I couldn't find that info on google now could I?

[gooneybird999]

@Merlin5by5 wow you are amazing, I was a 63tango which is a tank mechanic. I was with the 24th infantry division. I WAS that close to iraqi tanks. we walked around checking out the damage and seeing what we could salvage for parts to use on our vehicles.

@gooneybird999

NO, actually, the MOST likely candidate for Gulf War Syndrome, and

the SLIGHTLY higher cancer rate, is the highly concentrated SELENIUM

that's in Dust. THAT produces heart problems

@gooneybird999

By the way, I was trained as an 18C/D US Army medic. Then as an

X-ray technician (91P-20-40). SO, I have very specific radiation

training, and used to load the cobalt 60 radioactive pellets into

radiation treatment machines. Can't get any more specific.

@gooneybird999

It's a HEAVY METAL, Dumbshit. Heavier than lead. Even when it's

pulverized by a mach 2 impact on a tank, it doesn't spread beyond

50 feet from the impact site, so unless you were that close to an

Iraqi tank, you are NOT affected. More important, radiation damage

to humans is VERY WELL DOCUMENTED. The damage is

concentrated in the THYROID, and Gonads. How come NONE

of your DU claims involves the THYROID, the MOST sensitive

organ to radiological damage?

@gooneybird999

I wonder why they would send that letter also. Why don't you POST it,

and prove you are not just pulling crap out of your ass? Because at

the VA here in Las Vegas, the ONLY letters going out are for Gulf

Syndrome studies, not fantasy DU injuries. NOR do they accept

pics of Harlequin Syndrome babies from medical museums as proof.

@gooneybird999 Also you say they cleared DU, Just like they cleared all the other things in the past. Observing atomic bombs, agent orange and as I mentioned all the experimental drugs they gave us which is a violation of the Geneva convention.

In addition I might add a debate is one thing but to insult people who are struggling with something you could have no concept of unless you had a sick child. Recently my son asked how many surgeries he has had, I told him I don't know.

[gooneybird999]

@gooneybird999 Also many plants that make DU have been shut down and they have to deal with clean up "having cost some $190m. Contractors demolished the buildings and removed more than 150,000 tons of soil and other contaminated detritus, digging down to depths of up to 40ft and trucking it 2,000 miles by rail to underground radioactive waste sites in the Rockies"
