Veterans' Rare Cancers Raise Fears of Toxic Battlefields

Submitted by Robert, Aug 8, 2007 09:37

I need some help here. Where have we engaged with any armored vehicles in Iraq or Afghanistan in the last 15yrs? I guess that means any "insurgent" who may be wearing "body armor" that has turned up missing from our stock piles. (190,000 weapons,plus extra goodies). No problem with that loss but we bill returning veterans for missing equipment. WTF
