i wonder if this has anything to do with the radiation in Iraq. I read somewhere that Iraq is one of the most radioactive places on earth, dunno about Afghanistan though...

This little bug may be one of the very many that have mutated to break the laws of biology as we know it. ...Even E. coli is now transmitted in the air.

Most modern diseases - "new" diseases and new forms of old diseases - result from mutations triggered by "multifactorial" exposures, meaning several factors actively contribute to the mutation. Radiation is certainly one of the factors, along with heavy metals, chemicals and more.

The artickle suggests that "unsanitary conditions" may be the cause of this mini-epidemic - which simply scapegoats our military medical services - and does not acknowledge the real (and scary) changes occurring in our planet's microbial world.
