17,000 servicemembers have been sent home from OIF and OEF since 2002 for non related Illnesses or injuries...
Since the VAERS site became available for Servicemembers from 2000 to present just Anthrax related alone is 3866 who have had cases reported through the Vaccine Healthcare Centers.. these are just few of many who found this site to report what possibly could be going wrong with their body's?

Type in the pull down window ANTH and see what hits you get...there are cases dating back to 1992 that have just been surfacing with the connection to the GWS Gulf War Syndrom...
you can also type in SMALL (Smallpox) in the pull down window and see 2365 cases on record...
now I had one of these as a kid growing up and I'm sure there are many on here that had also? but now the government is saying if your shot is older then 20 yrs you need a new one?? wait a minute? I thought the whole Vaccine process was for your body to build up an immunity to this virus? and this had developed over the years to combat just such? so why would you need another additional? wouldn't your body have produced enough immunity and contained it to ward off such virus?
here's a link where you can acctually read the effects from Retired Commanders to ground pounders who are knocked out of service because of the infractions done by the DOD....
