Yes, there's a lot of good stuff out there on Gulf War Syndrome, as well as plenty that's questionable. I meant that the anti-war movement is not using U.S. casualties in the last war as an argument against a new all-out war with Iraq. In other words, we're letting the myth of the 'war without U.S. casualties' stand.
Of course, if the main cause is depleted uranium weaponry, these people would be victims of what the military calls 'friendly fire.' Guess they're not referring to the class war.

A shop steward on strike at a chicken processing plant in rural north Florida a few years ago told me she hoped her son would go into the military cause then he'd have medical care. Oh, sister.
