Though there have been over 125 studiesdone by the government at the cost of over $300,000,000 to the taxpayer, westill have no answers as to what caused so many of our soldiers to becomeill. Meanwhile, the suffering veterans are receiving little, if any,medical treatment for this illness. It seems that whenever veterans becomeill, the term "mystery illness" seems to be the first and often the onlydiagnosis that is ever made. Veterans are then left to fend for themselves,sick and unable to work, with little hope of a normal life again.The AGWVA is now again asking questions, this time, about the newest"mystery illness" to hit the military. After being pressured by a fewindependent news reporters who have not permitted this "mystery" to continueunabated, The DOD recently has been forced to announce the "mystery" deathsof Gulf War II soldiers and that at least 100 other men and women havebecome ill. Again, however, there were no adequate answers, but, only thatthe "mystery illness" diagnosis had reared its ugly head again. Accordingto a family member of one of the military victims, the DOD recently, haschanged its label of the illness and is now calling it "pneumonia" in sharpcontrast to what a physician on the scene reported. Due to continuingpressure for sound answers, the DOD was again forced to send aninvestigative team to Iraq, however the convenient, repeated lack ofdiagnosis, unfortunately translates into lack of treatment, and lack ofcompensation for the veteran. The jury is still out, however, if the DODwill be forthcoming with the truth this time.Contrary to the "pneumonia" and "mystery illness" labels, enlighteninginformation surfaced today on "THE POWER HOUR" radio show(www.thepowerhour.com) in an interview with Mark Neusche, father of JoshNeusche, one of the GW II troops to lose his life from the "mystery illness"while serving in Iraq. The father stated that his 20-year-old healthy son,a former track star and non-smoker, had written home on June 26th explainingthat he would be going on a 30-hour "hauling" mission, but that he could notdisclose what they would be hauling. The son had stated that he had been tothe Palace of Sadaam Hussein, and it was later learned that he was "hauling"at the Baghdad Airport.Marsha Paxson also appeared on the show, as she is the journalist who brokethe U.S. story for the Lake Sun Leader (www.lakesunleader.com). Although the"facts" behind this story are continually changing, Ms. Paxson is one ofthe few journalists who is remaining true to the facts of the originalstory. Ms. Paxson revealed in her articles that the father reported that hisson was not the only ill soldier. Neusche stated that while his son was ina coma at Landstuhl Hospital, the father overheard the nurses say that theywere expecting numerous sick troops to be brought in all at one time. Infact, the father actually witnessed approximately 55 other troops beingreceived by the hospital after they were transported by a military ambulance(bus). According to the father, the transported troops were exhibitingvarying degrees of the illness. Some walked, some were in wheelchairs andothers were on respirators. In the commotion, a doctor reported to thefather that his son was suffering from a "toxin." No mention of pneumoniawas ever made to him, nor was it ever reported in the medical record.Paxson and the AGWVA now question the diagnosis, the actual number of troopsthat were reported ill, and when the DOD first became aware of thisincident.One of the most surprising statements to come from The Power Hour interviewconducted on "The Genesis Network" was that while the son, Josh Neusche, wasa healthy young soldier on June 26, 2003, when he reported that he was goingto serve on the secret hauling mission, by July 1, 2003, he was in a coma,and that day was suddenly classified by the military, as medically retiredfrom the Army without Josh or his family's consent. Josh did not die untilJuly 12, 2003. Among other problems that this new classification createdwas that the DOD was no longer obligated to assist the family in getting toGermany to be with their son as he lay in a coma. Because the DOD would notprovide even so much as plane or taxi fare for the Neusche family, all 650members of the 203 Engineer Battalion each contributed $10.00 to make thefamily's final visit possible.The AGWVA is demanding answers in a timely fashion and according tospokesperson Joyce Riley, "We will not tolerate another whitewashing of atragedy against our veterans. It has happened too many times before with ourfailure to safeguard our troops, adequately diagnose and effectively treatthe victims of Agent Orange spraying, Project Shadshipboard-experimentation, and Gulf War Illness I.

With this government and its

unconstitutional, undeclared wars, it’s a pretty bad deal to join the

service.  But then, there are only a couple of reasons to join the armed

services:  1:  You are a patriot and think that your government is right no

matter what and duty calls (although you could also be a patriot and not think

that but then you wouldn’t join your government’s services unless

your country was actually attacked); and 2.  you are using them as a stepping

stone to a career, if not using them for a career.

  But either way, this government in the

21st century doesn’t think of its citizens or its armed forces

in the way that it did historically.  You are expendable in terms of its

goals.  You wield poisonous weapons, and you get sick, and if you are lucky,

you die.  But they don’t even tell you what is going to happen.  That way

you can’t come back and claim health benefits that they would owe you had

you stayed healthy.  Catch the conundrum. 

  It has just come out that the lines of

support for this war (undeclared) in Iraq were for the first time in history, not laid out and

staffed by the US armed forces themselves.  But rather by

private contractors.  Read that like this:   The lowest bidder won the

contract.  Then  that lowest bidder tries to fulfill the contract with the

least amount of cost to himself.  He definitely wants to come in underbid in

terms of his costs. 

  Rah, rah, sah, sis boom bah.  Go

troops.  Just fine verbiage.   But don’t spend any money.  Don’t

give them any real support. 

  This is no longer democratically elected

republic.  Why fight for it at all!  It tries to make laws that determine what

food is---against our wishes and knowledge; what medicine is---when those

medicines are poisons; what freedom of speech is—public speech doesn’t

count;  what war is---constitutionally it has to be declared; and even what “free

elections” are    lol.   We are at the point in our history that we need

to defend ourselves in the numerous ways possible from the government.  And

quit defending them.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUGUST 8, 2003

 

NEW REVELATION SURFACES ABOUT GULF WAR II

" MYSTERY ILLNESS "

The American Gulf War Veterans Association

(AGWVA), an independent Gulf War

Veterans' support organization, has long searched

for answers to explain why

nearly half of the 697,000 Gulf War I Veterans are

now ill and why over

200,000 of those servicemen/women have requested

disability, but have

received no adequate diagnosis or treatment, from

either the Department of

Defense (DOD), or Veteran's Affairs. Though there

have been over 125 studies

done by the government at the cost of over

$300,000,000 to the taxpayer, we

still have no answers as to what caused so many of

our soldiers to become

ill. Meanwhile, the suffering veterans are

receiving little, if any,

medical treatment for this illness. It seems

that whenever veterans become

ill, the term " mystery illness " seems to

be the first and often the only

diagnosis that is ever made. Veterans are

then left to fend for themselves,

sick and unable to work, with little hope of a

normal life again.

 

The AGWVA is now again asking questions, this

time, about the newest

" mystery illness " to hit the

military. After being pressured by a few

independent news reporters who have not permitted

this " mystery " to continue

unabated, The DOD recently has been forced to

announce the " mystery " deaths

of Gulf War II soldiers and that at least 100

other men and women have

become ill. Again, however, there were no

adequate answers, but, only that

the " mystery illness " diagnosis had

reared its ugly head again. According

to a family member of one of the military victims,

the DOD recently, has

changed its label of the illness and is now

calling it " pneumonia " in sharp

contrast to what a physician on the scene

reported. Due to continuing

pressure for sound answers, the DOD was again

forced to send an

investigative team to Iraq, however the

convenient, repeated lack of

diagnosis, unfortunately translates into lack of

treatment, and lack of

compensation for the veteran. The jury is

still out, however, if the DOD

will be forthcoming with the truth this time.

 

Contrary to the " pneumonia " and

" mystery illness " labels, enlightening

information surfaced today on " THE POWER

HOUR " radio show

(www.thepowerhour.com) in an interview with Mark

Neusche, father of Josh

Neusche, one of the GW II troops to lose his life

from the " mystery illness "

while serving in Iraq. The father stated

that his 20-year-old healthy son,

a former track star and non-smoker, had written

home on June 26th explaining

that he would be going on a 30-hour

" hauling " mission, but that he could not

disclose what they would be hauling. The son had

stated that he had been to

the Palace of Sadaam Hussein, and it was later

learned that he was " hauling "

at the Baghdad Airport.

 

Marsha Paxson also appeared on the show, as she is

the journalist who broke

the U.S. story for the Lake Sun Leader

(www.lakesunleader.com). Although the

" facts " behind this story are

continually changing, Ms. Paxson is one of

the few journalists who is remaining true to the

facts of the original

story. Ms. Paxson revealed in her articles that

the father reported that his

son was not the only ill soldier. Neusche

stated that while his son was in

a coma at Landstuhl Hospital, the father overheard

the nurses say that they

were expecting numerous sick troops to be brought

in all at one time. In

fact, the father actually witnessed

approximately 55 other troops being

received by the hospital after they were

transported by a military ambulance

(bus). According to the father, the

transported troops were exhibiting

varying degrees of the illness. Some walked, some

were in wheelchairs and

others were on respirators. In the

commotion, a doctor reported to the

father that his son was suffering from a

" toxin. " No mention of pneumonia

was ever made to him, nor was it ever reported in

the medical record.

 

Paxson and the AGWVA now question the diagnosis,

the actual number of troops

that were reported ill, and when the DOD first

became aware of this

incident.

 

One of the most surprising statements to come from

The Power Hour interview

conducted on " The Genesis Network " was

that while the son, Josh Neusche, was

a healthy young soldier on June 26, 2003, when he

reported that he was going

to serve on the secret hauling mission, by July 1,

2003, he was in a coma,

and that day was suddenly classified by the

military, as medically retired

from the Army without Josh or his family's

consent. Josh did not die until

July 12, 2003. Among other problems that

this new classification created

was that the DOD was no longer obligated to assist

the family in getting to

Germany to be with their son as he lay in a coma.

Because the DOD would not

provide even so much as plane or taxi fare for the

Neusche family, all 650

members of the 203 Engineer Battalion each

contributed $10.00 to make the

family's final visit possible.

 

The AGWVA is demanding answers in a timely fashion

and according to

spokesperson Joyce Riley, " We will not

tolerate another whitewashing of a

tragedy against our veterans. It has happened too

many times before with our

failure to safeguard our troops, adequately

diagnose and effectively treat

the victims of Agent Orange spraying, Project Shad

shipboard-experimentation, and Gulf War Illness

I. This time someone has to

be held accountable. " Ms. Riley closed

by saying, " Speaking out for our

past and present sick veterans is the best way for

Americans to support our

troops! "
