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:

http://www1.va.gov/rac-gwvi/docs/GWVIS_May2007.pdf

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.

so with our army all but destroyed...who will protect us now?...

So these people were never deployed, they died at home in their bed or in a car accident or from cancer or another disease and that's Bush's fault?



You might want to use two layers of tin foil on your next hat.

dude this is of all the troops that have been in any war still alive from the time of the gulf war. that means all 60 year old korean war vets, 50 year old vietnam vets. this is by no means a report of the active troops serving right now. look at your own statements. 17,000 active and 55000 inactive troops of the 77000 dead. does that not seem a little weird to you?

I may not agree with the figures as presented by you or the military but I agree that this war is wrong; generated by oil and money,
bottom line but the american people are being fed horse **** as to why we went to war. America has become a policing state no questions about that, and all of us Americans are being told that we are saving the world that we are the keepers of democracy!

I love this country but I dislike the way its being run....

sorry I was trying to post an article here and it didn't work... it said it better than I could have... sorry. BUT my son just left for Badgdad (sergeant in the army) YOUR back side is covered... so relax and have a nice Christmas.I will let you know how it is going after I am able to have contact with him.... sometime after the first of the year... Joy to you and yours and have a great Christmas.

once they are injured

and sent to ramstien

and if they die there

they do not consider them in iraq anymore

keep your gun handy

Nice to see the militant left invading even so-called dating sites to post their blather. Somewhere Dan Rather is smiling...

your point is

davinci1952 Save this crap for your left wing hate America blog. It does not belong here.

anyone can post what they want

as long as it does not go against the terms of use

or forum rules

his post does not

I didnt invent the figures from the article...

left wing hate america?.....I've got my honorable discharge
from the Marines in 1973 pal....you can screw yourself...

it is ok davinci

i do not always agree with your posts

but i will agree to your right to post them

I want to add, just because we understand we were bamboozled into a war with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, does not mean we do not support our troops. Our troops cannot help that they are being lead by a doofus. I am American, I am proud to be an American. I do not support the rampage babyshrub is reeking on our country or other countries in his desire for control. So those taking this as a punch in the stomach of the troops, step back. They are our young men and women and we are sadly watching them die daily for a dictator calling himself a leader of democracy.

if sadamm would have fulfilled the agreements

of the ceasefire we would not be in this way

to begin with

10 years at least he was refusing inspectors access

the reason was there

Everyone has a right to their views of things. Davinci has done nothing wrong here and should not be personally attacked by you or anyone else. If you do not agree with the information, cool, but do not attack any member of this site personally.

Left wingers love the troops just like everyone else does, they do not support the war. It is an illegal war with a country that did not do 9/11, Saddam has paid with his life for 9/11, all this is illegal and wrong and cannot be made right. The troops follow orders, if the leader is wrong, the troops still follow orders. They are in hell because of babyshrubs attempts to control the world.

sadamm has paid with his life for the murder of

his fellow country persons

and found guilty by his own country persons

nothing to do with 911

Strange Saddam was what he was for many many years prior to 9/11, right???? Strange how babyshrub used the grief of Americans over 9/11 to go to Iraq to get a man who has been what he is for many many years, right???? Strange how babyshrub would not listen to intel about no WMD, we even had intel from 1991 showing he stopped his WMD then, ignored, right?????? Strange how 9/11 was reportedly done by bin laden and Saddam is now dead, right?????? Strange how babyshrubs cronies are getting full rights to bids of billion dollar jobs in Saudi and Iraq, right???? Strange how intel says bin laden is in Saudi and we have been there since the 90s but we do not have him, right????? You have been bamboozled my friend, in the worst way. We are losing troops daily for a man who had personal reasons to be in Iraq. We are facing recession here now and his cronies are growing richer and richer. It is an illegal war, illegal and wrong. We are now emmeshed in a religious war that has raged for many many years and we cannot fix that conflict. Babyshrub has taken America down the toilet and does not care.

91 long time

why did he not let inspectors in

reason for noncompliance is usually noncompliance

it is easy to sit here and say things 6 years later

but if he would have permitted the inspections as ordered by

the good for absolutely nothing united nations

then are troops would not being dieing and getting hurt

if you must blame someone blame saddam

this attacking the govt is of no use to anyone

other than those that want us to let them have iraq

do i think we should still be there

no

but i think we should have went in with 600 000

and done the job and got out

but that is me

i wonder how many antiwar protesters realize

that they are demoralizing the very people

they say they are helping

i have talked to a number of service personal

that have been in iraq

and they have all said we need to be there

and that is good enough for me

first hand knowledge out ways opinion every time

Violence is way down, economy is on the rise, worth of Iraqi Dinar increasing, foreign Arab investors and banks coming in, markets full of people, streets full of cars, children out playing, school attendence up, deaths way down, attacks way down. Sunnis and Shi'ites working together to get rid of al Qaeda and foreign terrorists.

How dare a democratic government with a constitution for the people turn for the better after you've been pushing the civil war bull for years.

You are losing, it is crystal clear. Murtha is changing his tune and other Democrats who visited Iraq recently are going even further than he is.

Iraq will become the South Korea and Japan of the 21st Century, thanks to the good people of Iraq, and thanks to the intervention of the US and allies toppling a brutal dictator who financed terror and defied all orders for him by the international community to change his ways.
