you know, toddsNoPatriot brought up an interesting point:

511 - "I guess if an evil drug company made a cure for XBOB's diabetes or a cure for Havoc's disability they would only buy it if it was made in America.
Maybe not even then because the drug company didn't do it to be nice but did it for filthy profit. "

You know, I got diabetes in my 20's (most people get it in the 50's-60's), before he was born, from Agent Orange, fighting for my country so that fools like him would have a place to be born and grow up in, safely (fool that I was - wasting my time and life to support idots trying to destroy everything I was fighting for).

But, that point aside, I was saving up my money to go to Israel, to get an operation they invented there, pancreatic cell transplants. They were doing good work there, and having a pretty good modicum of success. Unfortunatly, apparently the transplants died after 6 months to 2 years, leaving the patient back where he was.

I always wondered, did that really happen, or did the drug companies foil it. You see, diabetes is an almost perfect disease for the drug companies, as it kills very slowly, and they can sell all sorts of expensive medicines for years and years and years. All those profits for all those years.

This disease has been killing me slowly and I have been taking expensive medicines for 30 years now, and overcoming my problems, but now the disease is winning faster and faster every month and year.

I wish the drug companies would use their profits to develop a cure for diabetes, but it is too profitable not to. Do you know, that even after 100 years, these drug companies haven't figured out the whole insulin cycle, or how insulin works? A hundred years of making money off diabetics slowly dieing.

Things like cancer, generally kill much quicker, so they have to figure out how to make their money, fast, before they die. So they charge really big money for the cancer drugs. It cost $250,000 for my wife to die from cancer in a matter of months.

I'm so sorry for your loss XB. But, yeah, I think about things like that myself. When they say some of the things they say here and you know the thinking goes beyond just them by quite a bit, it really has to make you wonder.

Welcome home brother ... shame that when we had to go fight in order to keep this country safe for all it included the ungratefully ANTI-AMERICAN Free Traitors who would screw you and any other fellow American for their almighty dollar

OK, some questions:

What unit were you in? What MOS? Where did you serve? What was your DEROS?
