too bad our troops don't have these cards.

After Gulf I Clinton charged the VA admin. to see to monitering the vets and to see about this in future combat. (saw this in Hillary's book)

Our troops were supposed to have daily nose swabs (during the fighting) plus were to use chemical masks. Military docs are worried out of their minds because this was not done.

1. The UK can do this because they have national health care

and they actually WANT their returing soldiers to seek care..

We hide the truth and then lie to them in hopes that they will give up or die, before they actually get the care they need.:(

2. Now there's an idea! Can we make up some fake ones and

distribute them in Nevada???

Also, there's word on the street that Ohio is getting some form of a uranium processing plant or something like that.

Make it up like those credit cards, but on heavy paper, and have them say "Test out your back yard!" on them.

4. Iraqis have been ill and dying from DU since Gulf I
