I am a TEST VET.

We took an oath of secrecy. Honorable men keep their oaths. But there is no honor in protecting the predators who used us and then abandoned us. It is time for the TEST VETS to speak out.


On August 25th, I will be 51 years old. I have had a stroke, 7 heart attacks, a failed triple bypass, heart ejection fraction of 25%, COPD, skin abnormalities, foot fungus and rashes. This all started in 1992 when I was 36. I am in contact with 11 other "test vets" and we all have heart problems and multiple health issues. We are all ignored by the VA

Why the Fuck won't anyone ask Cheney and Rumsfeld about their Chemical Weapons and drug experiments in 1974 and 1975? While they were in the Ford Administration, Cheney and Rumsfeld, violated the Nuremberg Codes of 1947 by using enlisted men as human test subjects for chemical warfare. From 1952 thru 1975, they used 7120 enlisted men in these experiments.

The health study contacted the participants in 2000 and found that 75% of them were either dead or disabled.

2098 dead and 2200 disabled

Who is going to help these widows and vets?

Demanding the world hold Saddam accountable for his actions, seems a tad bit hypocritical now doesn't it?

Supporting American Veterans is how we show the troops we care.

This government continues to let them down. We must build a fire under their "uncaring" Butts...

Thanks for your activism!

[porphyrian]

5. ...and they have the nerve to say "support our troops!"

It's fucking treason.

[Vidar]

6. K&R.

7. A tad more than a tad bit hypocritical

[farmbo]

8. You need to talk to a Class Action law firm Kpete...if not for yourself...

... then for for the next round of cannon-fodder-lab-rats these power-deranged cowards will try to victimize.

It could be your fight for your country is just beginning.

11. Kpete is posting the article--

but is not its original author.

[kpete]

12. thanks tblue37

for making that clear...

I look for important info on vets - I myself am not one.

I strongly feel that we need to listen and HEAR what they are telling us, because THEY have first-hand knowledge about what is going down.

It seems like those who give the most, get the least...

15. Kpete,

many people on DU don't seemt o be able to recognize when the original poster is posting something he/she found somewhere else.

To avoid confusion, I always introduce the cited material with a brief intro in my own words, to the effect of what I am quoting and where I found it. Then I use the <blockquote> and </blockquote> tags to indent the quoted material and the link to it, thus setting it off from my own words.

People read fast and carelessly. As a writing instructor, I am always telling my students that what can be misunderstood will be misunderstood. As a writer I try to follow my own advice and make it as hard as possible to misunderstand what I am trying to say. (Of course, some readers still manage to misunderstand, but not perhaps as many and not as badly.)

14. Nominated.. "V for vendetta" was not that far off

On describing the history of governments testing on humans.

I hate to see the outcome of depleted uranium implications in the years to come.
Kicked for vets.

16. Amazing how these stories run so silently

GFY cheney and rummy need to be held responsible for all their crimes.
