Not really stolen valor, but a definite lack of honor...

Honestly Major... With all due respect, Who gives a crap? He is dead. And what if he was right. He needed the help anyway.

Yes if he was riding around tanks in Kuwait.

When few SM's are left then the VA recognized a problem existed. My uncle finally received disability for Agent Orange right before his death caused by it. My cousin recently died of cancer perhaps caused by exposure to toxins at Ft McClellan. The VA has a one page paper on McClellan, "Recently the Veterans Administration has established a page under the heading "Potential Exposure at Fort McClellan - Public Health" That page in part, states the following... "Some members of the U.S. Army Chemical Corp School, Army Combat Development Command Chemical/Biological/Radiological Agency, Army Military Police School and Women's Army Corps, among others, may have been exposed to one or more of several hazardous materials, likely at low levels, during their service at Fort McClellan. Potential exposures could have included, but are not limited to, the following: Radioactive compounds (cesium-137 and cobalt-60) used in decontamination training activities in isolated locations on base. Chemical warfare agents (mustard gas and nerve agents) used in decontamination testing activities in isolated locations on base. Airborne polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the Monsanto plant in the neighboring town. Although exposures to high levels of these compounds" [17] " (Wikipedia). There are still areas prohibited from entrance by civilians due to environmental cleanup.
