War's Toxic Legacy is the headline

As I read the local paper today this was the headline. And then it states 4 local soldiers have joined in a law suit against "contractor "KBR" - Dick Cheney just never stops giving does he?

But I want to be very serious in writing about this topic. Because it seems in EVERY WAR you people have sent us to fight in- you have also allowed us (Veterans) to be devastated by the elements like this new one "hexavalent chromium" ( actually this one isnt new- it has been known for decades that it is a Very Dangerous Carcinogen).

You may recall the Movie which detailed the Poisoning in California ( Erin Brockovich) well this is that same chemical.

Only now - our own soldiers are getting sick and dying because of it and likely it will be shown that KBR knew all about it (DUH).


To those Vets Today suffering from the exposure to this and other dangerous stuff you inhaled - ate - or were forced to languish in while Over There. Hang Tough my brothers and Sisters.

There is one soldier from my hometown listed in the paper and the front picture shows a soldier who has already died as of the result from exposure.

The 1092 Engineering Battalion National Guard has nearly 50 soldiers nationwide who have filed in this lawsuit against KBR.

I and many many other Old Vets were warning of exposure to Depleted Uranium early on in this current war. Others were warning of other types of exposures to various elements that were brought into the conflict by "The Contractors"

Of course KBR ( just like profit pigs before them ) are claiming you cant get sick from exposure to this element.

I am going to repeat something here and I want every swinging SOB out there to hear me Loud and Clear !!!!

AGENT ORANGE !!! Remember this one ??? How F**king long did it take our own Government to fess up on that one - hun??


Men and Women who give their selves to their country when it calls deserve Far Better than the treatment they will likely get after this WAR. Like in all wars.

You People - Like to cheerlead us into these damn wars then you simply sweep us under the rug when its over. Oh they are sick? That must be from their current employment or maybe they were smokers or Yeah Yeah Blah Blah.

Oh you give Veterans Lip Service support for sure, Patriotic Church Services, Speeches and Flag Waiving and 4th of July Parades by the hundreds.

NONE of that SHIT helps a Vet who is sick from POISON she or he was exposed to in COMBAT or Service to Country. Do Something Real to help Veterans that have become ill or their families that may also get the same sickness as they have because of these elements. If the Patriotic Shit makes you all feel better - I am Glad but Real Support means getting Involved in Helping Vets and their Families.

If you People are not willing to be Honest to those who sacrifice and then to treat those same Veterans with Honor and Dignity and Proper Health Care when they come home - Then STOP SENDING THEM TO WAR !!!!!

Sgt Freedom - Peace Out
