Hey, GI, Is That Throat Cancer All In Your Head, Too?

Message Cathy Garger

Is that cancer in your throat all in your head, too, dear ailing soldier?

The military is pushing us hard to believe that the ultra-high rates of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, other psychological problems, and suicides experienced by our returning soldiers is all in their heads.

But here is an article that, in all likelihood, provides the key to what's ailing our vets who served in combat overseas from 1991 on.

Remember, it's not me who said this, but some docs...

"Doctors suggested that the cancer likely resulted from exposure to depleted uranium or toxic chemicals he encountered in Iraq, he said."

Please read this article and consider speaking up and out against the use of toxic and radioactive ceramic not-so-Depleted Uranium oxides emitted by military weapons used every day in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Thank you,
