Casualities in Gulf War I: 221,000 and counting…

My dad, who works for the California Department of Veterans Affairs, confirms the scope of the damage - he says they attribute it to chemical weapons and oil pollution. I’ll have to ask him whether Depleted Uranium is acknowledged as a source of problems or not.

Doug Rokke analysis of Federal Report on number of casualties from Gulf War I (source document below):

http://traprockpeace.org/gulfcasualties.html

Consequently the VA officially recognizes in the May 2002 report that a total of 262,586 individuals are “disabled veterans” due to duty in the Gulf and that 10,617 veterans have died of combat related injuries or illnesses since the initiation of the Gulf War during August 1990. That gives us a verified casualty rate of 30.8%. If we are to initiate Gulf War II we had better be ready for the possible casualties.

Doug Rokke interview with Susan Miller of the Taprock Peace Center:

Studies have found that male soldiers who served in the Gulf War were almost twice as likely to have a child with a birth defect, and female soldiers almost three times as likely.
