On July 11th Lester Holt will be interviewing many people that are involved with some of this nations ”secrets” many of them from the Cold War past and many of them from the out right bizarre ”the aliens at Area 51″ and the debunking of that myth and many other of the so called X [...]
Congressman Steve Buyer announces his retirement and my assessment of his “career” and good riddance. Can we have Chris Smith back now or someone else like him and not another Booyer
This is a story of the abuse of soldiers from 1955 thru 1975 and how this nation has ignored their medical problems for the past 50 years, and ignored the 40% death rate and 54% disability rate. This is worse than any X File episode the CIA could create, in this case the truth is stranger than the fiction.
The federal court has accepted a lawsuit by veterans of the Cold War experiments conducted at Edgewood Arsenal from 1955 thru 1975. The government chose to ignore these men since 1975 and it has taken a lawsuit to make the government accept responsibility for medical harm caused them by toxic exposures.
I have not been writing much of anything lately, burn out, stress, the holidays? Who knows, but I have noticed that veterans are being pulled into factions again, veterans who served before the “War on Terror” and those that have served since 9/11. I am distressed by this, as a Vietnam era veteran, Gulf War veteran I thought veterans had decided to not let these divisions happen ever again.

More than four years after being sent to prison for allegedly lying about his PTSD which had been diagnosed and verfied by a C&P exam by a VA Doctor. This veteran managed to really tick off the VA, his mistake was like many veterans he wanted back pay to when he left military service and [...]
I have read where there is a push on to revoke the funding for Doctor Haley and the ork he is doing on Gulf War Illness, and I for one am mad over it. For too many years DOD and the NAS/IOM pushed the idea there are no real reasons behind the Gulf War Illness, [...]
It has been decades since the amount of life insurance was set for veterans. It may have been set during WW2, even then the military was paying 10,000 in life insurance if a member of the military was killed on active duty. During the 1950′s General Omar Bradley was in charge of the Veterans Administration [...]
Many veterans are asking themselves what happened to the promise of change in the Obama Administration’s Department of Veterans Affairs. The appointment of General Shinseki to be the Secretary of the VA, and Tammy Duckworth the stalwarts of demanding better treatment of America’s veterans, left us with the idea that finally we had advocate’s for [...]
