Did the US forces not use depleted uranium with their weapons in the gulf war....living around that stuff can maybe have effect on your health many yearts later... And who knows what the government isnt telling their soldiers..

If your referring to the middle east, yes. But that's not all. Many consumed water from containers used to transport diesel fuel and were sickened badly and some permanently. Several suffered from bad faith contractors who shorted them on safety precautions and, unless I remember incorrectly, some died.

Ever since the proliferation of the modern wars... military people who promised to defend their country died because caring for them didn't really matter much until election time rolls around, and then it's mostly for show. But the worst is the disparity of service... I can't even think of it without being heartbroken. All I can say is those who stood to sacrifice the most, get the least in return.
