I do have concerns about the vaccines we were given before deployment to the sandbox. If the vaccines turn out to be something that caused problems, I assume that there will be no admission for decades.
That said, been dealing with this since my deployment in the early 1990s. Only now is it at a point that it’s requiring surgery to treat.
Best part is....as an undiagnosed skin disorder it’s automatically accepted as being related to gulf service. Now that I have a diagnosis...I need to prove service connection. Talk about bullspit...
Heard that the VA takes witness statements as seriously as victim witness statements in court. Have about half a dozen multiple page accounts of how much of a PITA I am to deal with since the military.
Yep.
And folks who got vaccinated but didn't deploy are double plus SOL.
Still, I found Matsumoto's book to be quite informative.
So did my wife.

"The Cause: Although speculation on the roots of this dilemma ranged from pesticides and burning oil wells to undetected Iraqi nerve gases, it appears that American troops are the only ones suffering.
The ailment is largely unheard of in British, Canadian, Saudi, and Iraqi soldiers.(113)
Even though the media refrained from implicating vaccines as a potential cause, it awoke the country to a national dilemma:
how to support our vets who unquestionably served their country."
Good luck. Life goes on.
