US DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS ISSUES OFFICIAL REPORT CONFIRMING 73,000 U.S. TROOPS KILLED IN IRAQ SAME GOVERNMENT AGENCY REPORT CONFIRMS 1.6 MILLION "DISABLED" BY THE WAR
From Peter Marshall E. Boomhower

George Walker Bush has presided over the worst defeat of the United States
Military since Vietnam and has deliberately skewed reporting of the deaths
and injuries to conceal the facts.
Department of Veteran's Affairs, in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, has released the truth because they need the American People to know
our military is literally, destroyed.
They cannot release these horrific numbers via the chain of command because
they are under orders to conceal the truth at all costs, so they let slip a
report which now cannot be "un-slipped."
Here are the facts and a link to the government source to prove
these facts:
More Gulf War Veterans Have Died Than Vietnam Veterans.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, May 2007, Gulf War Veterans
Information System reports the following:
Total U.S. Military Gulf War 1 and Gulf War 3 Deaths: 73,846
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999
Total "Undiagnosed Illness" (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995
Percentage of combat troops who filed Disability Claims 36%
Soldiers, by nature, typically don't complain. They don't want to be
perceived (by idiots) as being weak, or complainers, or looking to get out
of work/danger. In other words, the real impact of those who are disabled
from the US invasions in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Nations, is not fully
reflected in the official Veterans Affairs numbers.
Why are the government numbers of 3,777 as of 9-7-7 are so low? The answer
is simple, the government does not want the 73,846 dead U.S. soldiers killed in the Gulf to date to be compared to the 55,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam, lest we all conclude Iraq = Vietnam.
What the government is doing is only counting the soldiers that die in
action before they can get them into a helicopter or ambulance. Any soldier
who is shot but they get into a helicopter before he dies is not counted.
73,846 dead U.S. soldiers for this scale operation using weapons of mass
destruction is not high - we expect the great majority of U.S. soldiers who
took part in the invasion of Iraq to die of uranium poisoning, which can
take decades to kill.
More than 1,820 tons (3-million, 640 thousand pounds) of radio-active
nuclear waste uranium were exploded into Iraq alone in the form of armor
piercing rounds and bunker busters, representing the worlds worst man made
ecological disaster ever. 64 kg of uranium were used in the Hiroshima bomb.
The U.S. Iraq Nuclear Holocaust represents far more than fourteen thousand
Hiroshima atomic bombs.
That's 14,000.
The nuclear waste the U.S. has exploded into the Middle East will continue
killing for BILLIONS of years and can wipe out more than a third of life on
earth. Gulf War Veterans who have ingested the uranium will continue to die
off over a number of years.
From a victors perspective, above any major war in history, The Gulf War has
taken the severest toll on soldiers.
So far, more than one million people have been slaughtered in the illegal
invasion of Iraqi by the U.S.. This is genocide of the highest order.
Iraqi birth defects are up 600% - the same will apply to U.S. Veterans.
Statistics and evidence published by the government and mainstream media in
no way reflect the extreme gravity of the situation.
Those working for the government and media must wake up and take
responsibility for immediately reversing this U.S. Holocaust. Understanding
who is manipulating all of us is critical for all of us.
For those of you who doubt the veracity of this story, who naively believe
it can't be true because if it were true, you would have heard it from the
government or from the main stream media, can see the proof yourselves
directly from the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs web
site -Source:

This story is 100% accurate. 100% true. 100% verifiable.
From the bottom of page 9:
1. The total number of service members ever identified by DoD with possible
low-level chemical warfare agent exposure serving in units in the hazard
areas at or near Khamisiyah, Iraq is 145,472 as of June 30, 2006.
In this report, VBA displayed compensation and pension statistics on 145,456 service members. VA and DoD have completed their fourth quarter 2006 review of service member records. However, there is a possibility of future changes, if needed, based on further review by DoD.

Hmmmmmm, was the OFFICIAL number not just over 4,000 just a couple of weeks ago?
Apparently, someone is not telling the truth... the... whole...truth...
