No use in slacking with the words. I say that when someone knowingly and willfully commits a serious wrong, there should be no easy way out. My gratitude to you is tremendous due to your thoughtful journalism. At the present, my health is much worse - my respiratory seems to be deteriorating further- I cough up anything and everything off and on all day, everyday. The nightly sleep apnea is just frightening to me - I stop breathing as much as 60 times an hour. That amounts to a steadily growing number of dying/dead brain cells - which fully explains why I feel "sickly" so often, with nausea as a tag-along. Our local medical communities abandoned us long ago when they received their "marching orders" on what diagnosis they were not allowed to make. So few of us have the proper noun tagged on our conditions. My short-term memory is fast fading away. After a 14-month deployment and burn pits exposures (Balad and Al-Asad Air Bases), my main concern remains that the truth is finally forced to the front.__Kathy A Vines, SSG (Retired)__ Tue, 30 Jun 2009 07:01:03 +0000 http://original.antiwar.com/vlahos/2009/06/29/x-file-vet/#IDComment25913022
