Western intelligence also knew that PC2 was capable of generating chemical compounds to make mustard and nerve gas.”<br /><br />Donald Riegle, a Democratic U.S. Senator from Michigan, held hearings about the veterans illnesses in 1993 and 1994. He told me the decision by Reagan and Bush “to secretly help Saddam Hussein build his biological and chemical weapons was a monstrous strategic error that eventually led to the tragedy of Gulf War Syndrome, which killed and disabled so many unprotected American troops.”<br /><br /><br />Breathing Poison<br /><br />During January and February 1991, when the U.S. bombed Iraq’s weapons plants and storage sites, poisonous plumes floated across the desert to thousands of U.S. troops based on the Saudi border. Sirens wailed daily, but officers in charge announced that the chemical-detection alarms were faulty.<br /><br />They were not.<br /><br />A Czech chemical-weapons detection unit found “trace concentrations of sarin, a nerve-paralyzing substance” drifting into Saudi Arabia. French, British and U.S. intelligence units found similar evidence.<br /><br />Tracy Elledge, a former combat engineer and one of the veterans I interviewed, said, “Alarms went off all the time.… Our officers told us they were false and to disconnect them.”<br /><br />However, Elledge and others were breathing poison.<br /><br />In a 2012 Neuroepidemiology article, Jim Tuite, a Gulf War illness expert, and Dr. Robert Haley, an internist/epidemiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, wrote that “large numbers of U.S. and Coalition military personnel were exposed to levels of sarin … high enough to cause irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects.”<br /><br />Elledge was on a team setting C-4 plastic explosives at Khamisiyah, one of Iraq’s largest weapons sites. “We used timed fuses, which gave us 10 minutes to get a half mile away,” he said. “But even at that distance, the smoke was terrible. And we were sent back in to make sure we got everything. The officers never told us the old rockets were filled with sarin, so we didn’t wear any protective gear.”<br /><br />Jim Bunker was a lieutenant with the First Infantry Division who had trained as a demolition expert. He told me that “before the DOD blew up the ammunition, it sent papers to the battalion officers and intelligence people with clear markings to help them identify chemical weapons. Then on March 2 or 3, the DOD sent the ordnance disposal team to verify which chemicals were there. We don’t know what they found, because once the troops started demolishing them and getting sick, the reports disappeared.”<br /><br />Bunker said that when troops first became ill, his battalion commander, Col. John Gingrich, radioed headquarters to find out what was happening. He was told: “It’s the heat.”<br /><br />“We knew this wasn’t true,” Bunker said. “It was only 85 degrees, and we’d trained in over 100 degrees—without people getting sick like this.” The next day, division commander Maj. General Thomas Rhame and Col. Michael Dodson came to their base. “They told Gingrich to be quiet about the men’s symptoms,” Bunker said.<br /><br />Dodson, now head of the Armed Services YMCA, did not respond to calls. Rhame, retired and until recently, vice president of the Association of the U.S. Army, told me, “I don’t deny the troops were ill. But I don’t remember that incident and it’s not in my nature to tell a subordinate not to admit something, because it might embarrass us.” Gingrich told me he remembers the issue about the heat, but not that Rhame and Dodson visited the next day. What does Bunker think? “There’s no way for people to admit to what really happened to us.”<br /><br />Ron Brown, a soldier with the 82nd Division, watched the demolitions from a mile away. “Within 15 minutes, I couldn’t breathe and my head was about to split open,” Brown said. “Soldiers were nauseous, dizzy and had diarrhea and muscle spasms. About 30 of us went to the medic, who gave us Motrin and told us to drink water.”<br /><br />Later that month, Bunker almost died. As the demolitions continued, his symptoms became more severe. “First, I couldn’t control my muscles,” he said. “But in a couple days, I had convulsions and collapsed. After this, they medevacked me to hospitals in Saudi Arabia and Germany, and then to the U.S.”<br /><br />Don’t Tell the Press 2015-11-01T22:23:06-05:00 SFC Floyd L. Williams 1081592

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why hasn&#39;t this issue received more attention on RallyPoint? I just learned about it at an American Legion meeting last night and discovered that the issue was raised here in November 2015 and only one person has responded. You have provided a very deep background on the issue. The only item I don&#39;t see mentioned is the fact that the sarin gas found its way to Iraq via Saudi Arabia who purchased it from US manufacturers, and that his is the reason that news of it has been suppressed. I hope that my comment will revive the discussion. I don&#39;t know how to re-categorize it. Maybe that would help.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was stationed at the site where the Czech Deconstruction team was deployed. It was only 60 miles from where the borders of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait came together. It is called King Khalid Military City, or Logistics Base Bravo; as we refered to it, where the 1st Cav., and Big Red One made there pincher move into Kuwait by going through the berms on the Iraqi border and then making the right hook into the "backdoor" of Kuwait. We were also a forward resupply point for A-10's, F-16's, Apache's and Cobra gun ship helicopters. I was assigned to the Air Force Mobile Radar Squadron that was 15 KM north of the "base" on an old Saudi Air Defense site for the HAWK Missile System. We had both the electronic chemical weapon sniffers and a chicken as a backup. Since we had all of the Coalition members troops watching our radar scopes if an AWACS wasn't flying. Now, I have chronic pain from nerve damage that goes from my neck down. I have a diel lead internal nerve stimulator and have to take the maximum dose of a medication specifically for nerve pain't as well as other medications every day. Back in 2005 I think, I got a letter from the Pentagon saying that I had been identified as one of 50,000 Service Members exposed to unknown Chemical/Biological weapons. Not long after that, I started experiencing nerve issues throughout different parts of my body. When I was Medically Retired in 2010, my Retirement orders specifically stated that I had not been injured in the line of duty in a combat zone or during a time of war. The VA only will give me a 90% rating and has denied me Individual Unemployabilty repeatedly. But, Social Security approved my application for unemployment as soon as I met the 6 month requirement. I'm thinking about getting my Congressional Delegation involved with my case with the VA. Don't forget we were also guinea pigs for the "P" tablets and the initial Anthrax vaccine. Which was the one designed for veterinarian's and naturally occurring Anthrax; not the weaponized type. Anyone with suggestions on how to make living in constant pain easier, please let me know! Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Does anyone that was deployed to that part of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait; recall receiving a letter from the Pentagon, saying that they had been identified as one of 50,000 Service Members that had been exposed to multiple types of Chemical and Biological Weapons while stationed in the desert. If my memory serves me correctly, it would have been sometime in 2005. If you did receive one of these letters; would you please contact me as soon as possible. I am currently suffering from multiple nerve damage sites from the neck down. And, I could really use a copy of that letter to give to the VA. I currently receive Social Security Disability, but the VA only has me rated at 90% and has denied my request for Individual Unemployabilty.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It appears this history is a deadly combination of two issues: <br />First, our commanders didn’t want to admit how many were exposed when they didn’t take action. <br />Second, it didn&#39;t fall in line with the media&#39;s narrative that no chemical weapons existed. <br />What a deadly combination?

I have found the same issue for many British soldiers.<br /><a target="_blank" href="https://abc11.com/archive/8286665/">https://abc11.com/archive/8286665/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://abc11.com/archive/8286665/">8286665</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description"></p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div>

We were told that these rounds were very low level due to age and heat. I remember one going off on Ariport Road (Irish) which we drove through the smoke &amp; dust in May of 2004. No one on the team was injured although a KBR guy died that was following the airport bus. It was believed they were trying to blow up the bus which was full of Soldiers heading on R&amp;R. Not long after that the Rhino armored busses were deployed.
