73,000 Veterans Have Died Between First Gulf War and Present
by Department of Veteran Affairs (Posted by earthwalker)
73,846 U.S. TROOPS DEAD;
1,620,906 PERMANENTLY DISABLED
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS ISSUES OFFICIAL REPORT CONFIRMING 73,000 U.S. VETERANS HAVE DIED DURING THE TIME BETWEEN THE FIRST GULF WAR AND THE PRESENT!
SAME GOVERNMENT AGENCY REPORT CONFIRMS 1.6 MILLION "DISABLED" BY THE WAR!
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 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 that filed Disability Claims 36%
Soldiers, by nature, typically don’t complain. 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. When soldiers are sent to murder women and children they tend to never be able to live normal lives there after.
How come the government numbers of 3,777 as of 9/7/7 are so low? The answer is simple, the government does not want the 73,000 dead to be compared to the 55,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam 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.
73,000 dead amongst the 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.
From a victors perspective, above any major war in history, The Gulf War has taken the severest toll on soldiers.
More than 1,820 tons 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’s. 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.
So far more than one million people have been slaughtered in the illegal invasion of Iraqi by the U.S. Birth defects are up 600% in Iraq – 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.

Um, the source for that OpEdNews story is a raving NEO-NAZI by the name of Hal Turner,

Department of Veterans Affairs Reports 73 Thousand U.S. Gulf War Deaths http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_clive_bo_070921_department_of_vetera.htm
GET REAL
Clive, is this an exercise in testing out gullibility and wishing us to accept government statistics ...???
Subject: Re: Department of Veterans Affairs Reports 73 Thousand U.S. Gulf War Deaths
I don't know where this fellow got those numbers. I did a bit of checking and found this (written 9/30/02) at
http://www.rense. com/general29/ gulf.htm:
During the Gulf War between 1990 and 1991 the United States military incurred: 467 individuals wounded in action, 148 killed in battle, and 145
killed in other than battle (i.e. accidents). Therefore, the total number of US Gulf War casualties was 760 at the time of redeployment.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Benefit Administration Office of Performance Analysis and Integrity Data and Information Services Gulf War Veterans Information System report that was just published (May 2002) states that as of May 2002: 696,778 individuals had served during the Gulf War with 572,833 individuals now eligible for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to include lifetime medical care, financial compensation, and a lifetime pension.
As of May 2002, 206,861 veterans had filed claims for benefits based on service-connected injuries and illnesses caused by Gulf War combat related duties. Department of Veterans Affairs officials have processed 183,249 claims for medical care, compensation, and pension, determining that for 159,238 veterans their injuries and illnesses are service connected, caused by Gulf War exposures and injuries. Consequently they have been awarded lifetime medical care, compensation, and pensions based on the extent of their medical problems.
The VA still has claims from 23,612 individuals pending while they have denied benefits to 24,011 veterans.
SINCE THE CESSATION OF GULF WAR HOSTILITIES IN 1991; AN ADDITIONAL 8,013 VETERANS HAVE DIED FROM SERVICE CONNECTED INJURIES AND EXPOSURES INCURRED DURING OPERATION DESERT SHIELD AND OPERATION DESERT STORM.
The implications of this official report are staggering! As of May 2002, the Gulf War casualties include 8,306 veterans dead and 159,705 veterans injured or ill as a consequence of wartime service to our nation. The official May 2002 Department of Veteran Affairs report classifies 168,011 individuals as "disabled veterans". That reflects a staggering casualty rate of 29.3% for combat related duties between 1990 and 1991.
We still know that many sick veterans have not submitted claims. We also know that some veterans have received disability benefits directly from the military. Thus the actual casualty rate from combat during 1990-1991 is probably higher than the 29.3% rate the new VA report verifies. However, combat activities did not stop in 1991. Therefore, since August 1991 a cumulative total of 1,127,458 individuals have been deployed to the Gulf with 851480 veterans now eligible for veterans benefits.
Consequently the VA officially recognizes in the May 2002 report that a total of 262,586 individuals are "disabled veterans" due to duty in the Gulf and that
10,617 veterans have died of combat related injuries or illnesses since the initiation of the Gulf War during August 1990. . . .
This was written in September 2002, pointing out the casualty potential of a second Gulf War. The figures are impressive – 10,617 veterans dying of combat related injuries or illnesses stemming from their Gulf War service. But nowhere near the 73,000 claimed by the writer.

We have had "equality" shoved down our throats for years and we all

country in the world. We've been told that if we treat blacks as
equals, they will behave as equals - only to see that argument go down
in flames on the nightly news.
The "Jena 6" story out of Louisiana last week has finally pushed
people over the edge: 6 blacks attack, beat and almost kill a white
kid; they're arrested; Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and forty thousand
other blacks from around the country held marches to demand these
hoodlums be released from jail!?!?!?")

The Bush Butcher's Bill: Officially, 40 US Military Deaths in Iraq
from 1 through 11 May, 2005 – Official Total of 1,791 US Dead to date
(and rising)
Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of
Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead
in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show
far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially.
The educated rumor is that the actual death toll is in excess of
7,000. Given the officially acknowledged number of over 15,000
seriously wounded, this elevated death toll is far more realistic than
the current 1,400+ now being officially published. When our research
is complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along with
the sources In addition to the evident falsification of the death
rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel have deserted, most
in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada and other European
countries, none of whom are inclined to cooperate with vengeful
American authorities. (See TBR News of 18 February for full coverage
on the mass desertions) This means that of the 158,000 U.S. military
shipped to Iraq, 26,000 either deserted, were killed or seriously
wounded. The DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated
indicate almost 9,000 dead, over 16,000 seriously wounded* (See note
below. This figure is now over 24,000 Ed) and a large number of
suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug usage and sales,
murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow soldiers , rapes, courts martial
and so on –
Just for the record: I have no confidence in the veracity of government statistics, but I thought this story was interesting because EVEN BY THEIR OWN STATISTICS there was a 73K discrepancy in deaths.
To me that was the interesting point.
But nothing now printed on government paper do I take as likely to be true.
Cheers.
