Waiting in the Pharmacy one day for a new prescription, a woman veteran (medical specialist) of it was describing to another man who had been there how the Army literally dumped her unit in the desert - without adequate or even basic supplies - no shelter - not much food, etc.
Stated they were, however, then given those things by the SAUDI government, or they'd have really suffered.
She and her husband, who had been in another location there, both developed crippling things, and had to fight like heck to get them recognized as war-related exposure to chemical substances from the Iraquis.
Have overheard others there saying the same thing.
It is an echo of the Vietnam veterans who had to fight for 20 years to have Agent Orange illnesses covered by the government.
The liberals in government prefer to DENY - DENY - DENY - hoping the veterans will all go away, or die before they have to pay for their care.
Need to have *all* those tax dollars to dole out to the (voting) ones who won't fight/poor/etc., doncha know...
