Subject: Military recruiters target the 'vulnerable'
To think that some folks make a decision to join the military to serve their Country, learn a skill and in many cases turn their lives around for the better......Oh the humanity!! |

... The New York Times has reported that many recruiters are on the verge of nervous breakdowns, experiencing bouts of depression and/or marital troubles, and some have contemplated suicide. Welcome to the sales profession. |

Online at: http://politicalaffairs.net/article/...iew/1213/1/99/ Dying in Iraq is not a career choice By Bud Deraps 6-01-05,9:44am Completely unknown to these young people, and never discussed by recruiters, is the fact that of the 580,000 U.S. troops who served in the six-week 1991 Gulf War, 11,000 are now dead, and by the year 2000, 325,000 were on permanent medical disability from the depleted uranium weaponry and the many other toxic and horrifying conditions they were exposed to. Wrong, according to The New England Medical journal in a study, the veterans were healthier than the US general population of the same age with a LOWER mortality rate than expected. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/335/20/1498 There was a higher accident rate of 9/1000 than the national average. Returning veterans that experienced stressful combat conditions have a higher accident rate. One may speculate that they hold live cheaper having seen so much death. They take fewer precautions and don't think that falling from a ladder can kill one as much as a bullet fired by the enemy, the ladder isn't trying to kill me right? Also unknown is the fact that over half of those who served in that war are now parenting children who are born with some birth defect when previous children were born normal. Wrong, there is a 2 times increase in infant birth defects as reported by vets. So if there are 3/1000 in the general population there are 6/1000 among gulf war vets. This fact is not documented by an independant study and may be much lower. The person who wrote this article is either an idiot who can't read or a lier who has no regard for the truth. |
