The US military kills its own: Maj. Doug Rokke

U.S. Army Major Doug Rokke in 2003 in Rochester, NY at a VFW post. Maj. Rokke (rhymes with 'Rocky'), PhD, was tasked to do the 1991 Gulf War clean-up of 'depleted uranium' - DU -- for the U.S. Army. Here he speaks to veterans and anti-war activists. Rokke exposes the US military's total indifference to the fate of not only the Iraqi people, but also to the men and women in the US military and the rest of the world. Rokke was told to lie by his superiors about the harmful effects of DU while he himself and his military comrades were sick and dying of DU poisoning.

Remember what Kissinger said about the military? "They're dumb beasts who obey orders"

Not everyone loses in war, there is certain ppl in the US govt who win on every level when it comes to these wars, especially these more recent wars against muslim countries. They win financially, they win by decimating the US military (and its allies) they win the propaganda war also. These ppl are zionists and their loyalty is with Israel, they actually hate the US and it's military, they only use the US for military muscle to destroy Israels enemies. Stop getting your ppl killed for Israel

@lazer1million I was navy.

I don't care why someone enlisted.

Hague & Geneva Conventions and military justice is what matters on a battlefield.

The PURPOSE of war is to obtain a political objective, not to kill, not to harm, but to obtain a desired end.

"Do not heap every injury onto an opponent of which it is in your power to inflict, because in time your current opponent may become your only ally." --Ancient Proverb

@centurion180ad uh, you've obviously never been in the Army. For people with a conscience killing other human beings is horrible, but a lot of guys enlist in the infantry, and other combat arms, to kill people. It's like hunting. Some people like it, others are disgusted by it.

So what is the treatment for DU exposure??? A lot of us Iraq vet have rashes and semtoms but they don't do anything about it but give us drugs to make us numb?

[MRBLACKPEARL04]

You go to war never to defend the country . You go because of corporation interest. You have been brainwashed

[centurion180ad]

The purpose of war is not to kill.

The purpose of war is to achieve a political objective by extraordinary means.

For a professional force killing is a regrettable means, not an end sought.

@Dogmeat7 AND YOU'RE A DUMBASS IF YOU THINK ONLY AIR FORCE RIDES IN AIRFORCE PLANES. DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY CAN WORK TOGETHER ON CERTAIN MISSIONS.

@Dogmeat7 ignorance is bliss I suppose?

@DURound are you in denial or just a fault finder, or an all knowing arrogant person? Who are you to say this man is lying? What documentation do YOU have to prove otherwise?
