"Over 10,000 veterans of Operation Desert Storm have died of a mysterious disease called “[Persian] Gulf War Syndrome,” well documented but denied." "Few Americans know or care that, by 1985, 50,000 Vietnam veterans had died of Agent Orange poisoning. By 2005, over 1 million Vietnam veterans had died of suicide or “unknown causes,” making the toll from that war greater than the combined losses of all other wars combined, including two World Wars, the Civil War and even Korea." VETERANS AS THE NEW PALESTINIANS "The methods used against American veterans, in California and across the US, deeply parallels ~ Israel’s land grabs that have disposed millions of Palestinians.
