Soldier asked to sign release before leaving for home
When some of the volunteer came back canvassing before the election they told me a story of a woman they spoke to. Her son was in Iraq and had been there for 18 months. Before he came home he was forced to sign a release saying he would not sue the military if he had a deformed child later in life.
Now his young wife is pregnant and they are terrified. The Depleted Uranium is heavy in the air there and the soldiers as well as their families will suffer greatly. So will the Iraqi people.

Agent orange part II

My Fiancee has an uncle that died from exposure to Agent Orange and my FIL is the only one of his platoon that was stationed around Vietnam that hasn't died from it.

The air force asked him to come in for testing so they could figure out why he wasn't exposed or what was in his immune system that stifled it.. he told them to fuck off .. well he was nicer than that but that was the jist ;)
