THE SUICIDE SQUADDIES Jun 8 2003
By Mike Hamilton


TWO young soldiers have killed themselves after falling ill with suspected Gulf War Syndrome following the latest conflict in Iraq.

Both men committed suicide after showing recognised symptoms of the illness - blamed on controversial jabs our troops were given before the war.
One - Royal Engineer Eddie Hosdell, 21 - leapt to his death from the Humber Bridge in Hull and a 26-year-old soldier hanged himself at a base in Germany.

The German-based soldier was given five jabs in one day - in direct contradiction of Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon's pre-war pledge that troops would not have multiple vaccinations at the same time.
The suicides are the first linked to Gulf War Syndrome after the latest conflict.

2. tragic kick
As usual, someone should go to prison for this, and no one will.

4. They tried to give my 4 week old daughter 4 jabs in one day!
I argued with my wife and the doctor and got it reduced to 2.

Jabs are bad news - AIDS was spread around Africa with the smallpox jab - do a google search.
