The True Cost of War
Daily Kos has an excellent post today on the true cost of the 1991 Gulf War.
He includes this documented fact: "159,000 Gulf War vets are receiving disability payments from the government -- suffering from the still mysterious "Gulf War Syndrome....Thousands suffer from memory loss, dizziness, blurred vision, speech difficulties, nerve disorders, muscle weakness. Many have chronic skin disorders, including rashes. They have reported incidences of cancers in themselves and birth defects in their children, though U.S. government studies deny they are related to the war. "
Kos also outlines why a new war with Iraq will be even costlier.
