Same Great Hate,
Only Half the Calories!
Yes, it's that time again! Time for another volume of the hate so many of you love. This time the preponderance of mail is on anthrax vaccination hysteria and its cousin, Gulf War Syndrome. That's because so many of the writers belong to a single one of those pernicious "news groups" (more aptly called "rumor groups" in many cases) in which people who have too much time on their hands and have long since lost the ability to read books or even change TV channels sit around and send messages to each other.
Sometimes the message is, "Hey, we've found somebody out there who disagrees with us! Don't bother to read what he wrote, just flame him!" And so it is with this group of mostly National Guard and reservists who have taken an oath to defend their country with their lives if need be but draw the line at receiving a needle prick in the arm. Hey, we've got to draw the line somewhere now, don't we boys and girls! Some of this language is a little bit raw, so you might want to see the warning message first. Well, you're still reading, so you asked for it.

Mr. Fumento:
Why not go into the underlying politics? Why not mention [blah, blah, blah]? Why not mention [blah, blah, blah]? Why not mention [blah, blah, blah]? For an ostensibly libertarian author to align with such statist and elitist rhetoric is a stunning display of hypocrisy, one which does nothing to advance the public's understanding of severe real and potential problems that will definitely impact all sectors of society, the "rationalists" included. Try again–two thumbs down,

Anthrax Hysteria HateShrink Rap
Dear Mr. Fumento:
These symptoms are just to name a few. As a reporter, one would assume, to get an accurate finding, both sides would be told. I see you have stuck strictly with the DOD [Department of Defense] party line. It's a crying shame, that you're in a profession to do good, and to get the word out to people, and yet you fail. PS.[sic] If this note has offended you, perhaps you realize maybe I'm correct. If you'd like to get the 2nd side of the story out in the forefront, please feel free to contact me at any time. I can be reached at [omitted].
Text Message from Randi [omitted]:
Charlie Spits Into the WindMr.Fumento,
We were told by our BN C.O. [battalion commanding officer] and Naval [sic] personel [sic], including the doctor who injected us that the shots were not FDA approved, therefore could not be documented.
You make it sound like the GW Vets [sic] are just making this stuff up. You said that soldiers that didn't go had the same symptoms, could that be because they too were injected in case they were deployed? Have you ever asked that question? I didn't see it in your articles. In fact, I didn't see that question in any of your articles. From anyone!
Now they are injecting the entire military with this junk. And again, people are getting sick. Why? Most are having the same symptoms as GWS! GEE wonder why? [sic]
TRY THE TRUTH, SOMETIMES IT DOES HURT! Charlie
You were "FORCED" to take anthrax vaccinations" Oh, you poor boy! And do they force you to wear boots that don't match your uniform? Do they force you to get up sometimes when you feel like sleeping in? How terribly awful for you. Did you think the military was the Boy Scouts, Charlie? And just what kind of documentation did you want, a diagram of the molecular structure of the vaccine? When I joined the Army, like everyone else I became a human pin cushion. Nobody gave us "documentation" on anything injected into our hides. Anybody who told you the injections were not FDA approved, lied to you. They've been approved since 1970. But what purpose would it serve for all these people to lie to poor Charlie? Maybe they were just having a good laugh on your account. Or maybe you made that up.
As my article pointed out, people are NOT "again" getting sick. The anthrax vaccine is making virtually nobody ill, beyond localized swelling and bruising. It's not giving them what poor Charlie is complaining of.
Finally, Charlie, "so many" aren't screwed up. That, too, has been documented. You're extrapolating from Charlie to the rest of the world. Thank goodness that's a logical fallacy. We're all unique, and in your case I think that's wonderful.
Charlie
A (Thankfully) Retired First Sergeant
Misguided, Incorrect, and Not Particularly Bright
I can only hope and assume your misrepresentation of the truth is from ignorance and not unfounded bias. Watch for the soon to be released medical report, peer reviewed, from a group of highly recognized immunologists linking the vaccine to GWS. At least at that point you will have the reason and excuse to crawl back to your media hole and try to be what you should be getting paid for : OBJECTIVENESS IN REPORTING.
P.S.: I've forwarded your letter to Hillary and she's dying to know when your enlistment runs out so she can hire you!!!!!!
Sincerely,
would you like to see the matrix of the currently ill at DAFB [Dover Air Force Base]? You obviously havn't!! [sic] Nor, I shall once again assume from your arrogant anti-military statement, had the common sense to read through
The matrix? That was a movie with Keanu Reaves. You mean "manifest." If it's obvious I haven't seen the manifest, may I ask how a tech sergeant got permission to see it? You obviously havn't!! [sic] As to being anti-military, since it's clear a lot of you letter-writers are in the same Usenet group, why do half of you call me a dupe of the military and the other half a hater of the military? Just flip a coin, pick one, and stay consistent.
I have read some of those congressional testimonies. The symptoms described are just what I described in my original Wall Street Journal piece: they're either everyday things attributed to a vaccine because nobody likes having symptoms without a diagnosis, or they're just too bizarre to be true. Kind of like you, Earl. The part about the $100 an hour was a joke. Again, kind of like you. Finally, as to my lack of courage, do I really have to point out that it is you, big bad tech sergeant Earl, who is terrified of a teeny-tiny little needle with a syringe filled with a vaccine that's been given out over one million times. God help us if our enemies ever find out our military has people with your BB-sized balls.

Should Have Stayed on the FarmDear Mr. Fumento. [sic]
In the military, we face hundreds of potential biologic and chemical threats. Why should we take a chance with our long-term health to provide us protection for "one" strain of one of these threats. Political gains and biotech profits are the driving force behind this facade. Why don't you
Sincerely,
Thank you for your one-sided letter on the AVIP program. Somehow I fail to comprehend how allegedly being "a veteran of Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Operation Somalia, Rwanda, Croatia, Columbia-War on Drugs, and many other dangerous operations around the world" makes you an expert in compassion, but to me telling the truth is the compassionate thing. There are over two million members of the military who will ultimately take the anthrax series. They deserve facts, not innuendo – as you apparently demand.
Regarding the State Department, here's an alternative theory: Maybe, just maybe, they don't agree with Captain Farmer that they are at greater risk than the military. Maybe, just maybe, they also feel that the small supply of vaccine should be reserved for those at greatest risk, namely the military. The military faces "hundreds of biological and chemical threats," does it? I look forward to receiving a list of even 10 percent of that. [Farmer never responded]. You can't provide it because you just made that up. It remains that it is anthrax that is the most ubiquitous biological threat, as evidenced by the number of rogue countries (and Russia) that maintain it in their arsenals. They don't have "hundreds" of such weapons; they do have anthrax. I have read of the symptoms that some service personnel have complained of, which is why I am able to write about them. As my piece made clear, they fall into two simple categories which, by the way, are the same two categories that apply to "victims" of Gulf War Syndrome. They are either hysterical, complaining of symptoms that nobody has, or they call any illness contracted after receiving an anthrax vaccination a result of that vaccination. So tomorrow if I get run down by a bus, I hope my heirs sue you because, after all, my death will have occurred in short proximity after receiving your silly e-mail, therefore what else could possibly have been the cause? Did you learn such logic in ROTC or Officer Candidate School? And by the way, don't give me this "they don't blame anyone" baloney. If they didn't blame the vaccine and the people who told them to take it, we would never have heard from them, now would we? This kind of disingenuousness characterizes your entire letter. Considering the truth is out and I'm sleeping fine, thank you, it appears you will not get your wish. But don't worry, since you're retired nobody is going to ask you, alleged veteran of so many dangerous conflicts, to do something so utterly horrifying to you as rolling up your sleeve and having a needle stuck in your arm.
Sincerely,
Enquiring (But Dull) MindsMr. Fumento, I recently read your article in The Wall Street Journal (12-15-99) and I have a few questions.
[Five more questions deleted, due to utter inanity.] Hope you will find the time to address these issues. Thank you. Mary [omitted]
Let me get this straight. The new plant failed a test, therefore the old plant produced unsafe vaccine? This is how your mind works. Add to that we don't have to guess at the safeness of the old vaccine, since I offered data showing how incredibly safe it's proved. And I'm supposed to answer five more questions like that rather than work on my next article for the anywhere from 50,000 to several million readers who actually pay attention to what I write and can synthesize it? Bye-bye. Have a nice life.
Sincerely,
A Moderately Active Intellect[This letter heavily edited due to extreme windiness.] Dear Mr. Fumento, It is true that only a moderately active intellect is required to debunk sound-bite quality gulf [sic] war syndrome stories of luminous vomit and caustic semen. Is it fun for you to use these examples to poke fun at even valid human suffering?
I see that military service is conspicuously absent from your resume, so please do join us in actively participating in this draconian loyalty test.
I reserve all rights to the content of this letter and it is to be considered a private communication. This letter is not to be transmitted or republished without my permission.
Yours truly,
You speak of destroyed lives, but think nothing of all the vets and their spouses who live in terror of being the next victim of a syndrome that doesn't exist, who have decided not to have children, because somebody like you falsely informed them that Gulf vets have an extraordinary rate of miscarriages and birth defects in offspring. Why can you spare no pity for them?
If you actually had seen my resume you'd see that it quite conspicuously (at the very top) notes I spent four years in the Army, honorably discharged as a sergeant. So whatever power you feel it gives you to point out that I am not a vet now works against you. Specifically, I never refused any vaccination nor was I allowed to opt out of any. I rolled up my sleeve like everyone else back then. It wasn't so long ago, yet it was obviously a different enough military that the idea of running in mortal terror from a needle never occurred to us. I don't know anything about your gynecologist friend, save that he played no part in my article. I also note that you dispute nothing that appeared in that article. So I'm challenged to address "all the facts" while you ignore all the safety data and quotes from responsible doctors and researchers in my piece and talk instead about some gynecologist. As to your final statement, I reserve the right to publish idiocy sent to me on my hate mail page. The world needs an occasional laugh, Michael, and you've provided more than one.
Sincerely,
Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) HateMichael Fumento as a Cause of GWS
Mike, Certainly there are, and will be, those who would bilk the system, but the truth remains...many veterans are sick and many are dying (have died) from something in the gulf [sic]. Exposures to chem/bio warfare, oil fire smoke, diseases endemic to the area, or drugs administered to us by our government . . . whatever the cause(s), there are sick and dying vets. The rest of this story hinges on the gov't [sic] cover-up . . . coupled with the total lack of real treatment and or compensation for those afflicted and the bogus "reporting" such as yours.
Daniel J Meck USN (ret)
As far as your doubting my service, you can either pop for air fare to Washington, D.C. to look at my honorable discharge certificate hanging on my office wall or you can submit a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of the Army. What you can't stand is being contradicted by another vet. But the fact is, many Gulf vets have written to me that people like YOU make THEM sick–though not physically. Why? Because just as the media fashioned an image of the Vietnam vet as a ticking time bomb or a homeless person, you and your ilk are trying to make us think all Gulf vets are whining losers who can't accept that the military didn't promise them perfect health for the rest of their lives. I can understand how a Gulf vet would resent that. If you've read a single GWS piece of mine, you know I acknowledge that there are truly sick vets but that out of a force of 700,000 after nine years there are no more sick ones than one would expect. Instead, you put words into my pen, making me call all sick vets from the last four decades liars. I'm not calling them liars, Daniel, just you. Finally, I note you were in the Navy, but there's no reference to you being a Seabee. It's a fair presumption then that you rode out the conflict on a ship. But somehow you consider it possible that oil well fires or chemical weapons reached out over miles of waves and gave something that later struck you down. It's hard not to have sympathy for a vet who's 80% disabled, if indeed you truly are, but in your case it's easy.
Sincerely,
Reality check for you Mikey . . . I know exactly when and where and how it happened to me. Down to the point of the chemical alarms and the MOP 4 [he means MOPP-4, donning full protective gear] level being set. Another point . . . just as you assume (and you know how that word works don't you?) that since I'm Navy I simply sat on a ship for the whole war–well guess again!
Have you ever been in the desert Mike . . . because it seems you have your head stuck in the sand . . . I truly believe you are paid by the government . . . .if not, then perhaps your attitude comes from something that happened during your meager 4 years of active duty that makes you desire to put down the real veterans.
The studies I referred to compared Gulf vets to non-Gulf vets of similar age, demographic background, and gender–not to little old ladies. But I suspect you knew that, didn't you? Yes, I've been to the desert–but I've never served on a ship and PRETENDED I was in the desert. And finally Dan, I'm not putting down "real veterans," a category I'm somehow excluded from despite four years of active service, I'm putting down a sailor boy who apparently spent the war with his head over the ship's rail heaving up his latest meal.
The Non-Vet Vet
Your use of mundane similes as a rebuttal to Gulf War Syndromes [sic] existence,
Finally, you shouldn't be suggesting that anyone shut up or be knocked off the Internet, because if there were Powers That Be regulating these things, your mouth would be permanently duct-taped and she-who-spawned-you would suffer a double amputation.
Sincerely,
Sincerely, Mr. Fumento
I can only asumme [sic] that you have not read any real infomation on the Anthrax Vacc. [sic] or you would eat your words. But then again you are probally [sic] bought and paid for by the DOD. Why don't you take the series of shots then expose yourself to anthrax and then report your findings, if your [sic] still alive. Keep the Faith
"Myles"
Yes, I served in the military, though not as a weekend warrior such as yourself but four years active duty as an airborne soldier. I didn't prance around airplanes a weekend a month, I jumped out of them. That kind of removes me from the wimp category, doesn't it, Myles? But I "sertanly" did not serve in the Gulf, since the war came nine years too late. Does that put me back in the wimp category? And concerning your dare, since not a single case of death has ever been reported from the over one million anthrax shots given, I'd say my odds of survival would be pretty fair. But you're probably bought and paid for by Hysterics of America, Inc.
Keep the Faith (since you don't like facts, that's all you have),
Something's Making Him Sick
Ebola Hate
A Case for PatricideI'm sorry to say but your web page is wrong, Ebola has been and will be a threat to the U.S. and Africa. Untill [sic] some one finds out how to stop it.
Sincerely, Hey Axxhole [intentionally spelled wrong],
Thanks,
First you don't care that your kid has lousy spelling and grammar. Second, you think that a simple assertion, to wit, "Ebola has been and will be a threat to the U.S. and Africa. Untill [sic] some one finds out how to stop it," has "merit", or, excuse me "MERIT", rather than being a simple assertion with absolutely no underlying argument or data. My advice to your daughter is that she get another father. Fast.
Sincerely, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity

Why not go a bit further into the underlying science? Why not mention the current research that reveals [blah, blah, blah]? Why not explain [blah, blah, blah]? Why not explain [blah, blah, blah]? Why not explain [blah, blah, blah]?
Dear Mr. [omitted]:
I received the first dose of the vaccine in September of '98. After the 4th vaccination in March of '99, my symptoms included the following:
There really are member's [sic] who are suffering at the hands of this vaccine, and yet you refuse to do your job and find out exactly what is real, and what is fiction. You are a disgrace to your profession, and you have slapped all the military members in the face. Both of those who are concerned, and those who have fallen ill [sic]. Instead of reporting the current events (which you obviously wouldn't know if they hit you smack dab in the middle of your forehead with a 2x4), why don't you try children's books, where you can start off with "Once upon a time", and end up with "and they all lived happily ever after".
Lady,
I've read your articles on your website about Gulf War Syndrome. I must say, you are a fool, you sound like you are an employee of our government. You never once mentioned the possible cause of GWS could be the Anthrax Vaccinations [sic]. (except in the letter you sent to the Washington Times on April 14,1999. that's the only mention to the Anthrax vaccinations since 1993) We were "FORCED" to take the Anthrax [sic] vaccinations during Desert Storm. We were denied documentation of these shots. Why do you think we were denied documentation?
I'm not phychosomatic [sic] as you referred so many times in your articles. I am suffering from "unexplained illness's"(VA terminology). I first went to the VA about 3 months after returning from Desert Storm, they ran a few test [sic], had me sign up for the Gulf War Registy [sic]. One of the questions on the Registry was what do you think is the cause of your problems? I answered; Anthrax [sic] vaccinations! Well how convent [sic], they "lost" my original Registry paperwork ( I found out 2 years later). Just like the Pentagon "lost" all the documents concerning the Anthrax [sic] vaccinations.HMMM
All I seen [sic] was "everything"else that "could" be the cause, oil well fires, pesticides, DU [depleted uranium], "PB" pills [pyrodostigmine bromide], but, NOTHING about Anthrax [sic] vaccinations. Our government is trying their [sic] best to point toward everything else, except "THE REAL CAUSE".
You sit there and try to down play [sic] the GWS, it's real and it has screwed up so many. I don't care what our government says, I will always believe it was Anthrax [sic] vaccination that has screwed me up. I never took any "PB" pills while I was there, or at any time. They can't tell me that was the "cause".
That's a nice little theory about non-deployed GIs also receiving the vaccine, but they've also compared deployed vets to civilians and again found that vets who went to the Gulf are no sicker than comparable civilians. (Actually, the Gulf vets are healthier but that's to be expected since they'd recently been in the service where health is more important than in civilian life).
I just want to thank you for taking the time to respond to my letter. As for "poor Charlie", I just want to say that you are a disgrace to this country. You are nothing but a "COMMUNIST BASTARD". If you would like to meet me in person, I will show you exactly what it's like to wake up every day, hurting all over, headaches, (so severe your vision gets blurred), bad chest pains and so on. Just accept my invitation you PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!
You are a low life faggot. Some day, you will get your ass "sniped"!!! Do not respond again, for I do not communicate with COMMUNIST [sic]. You couldn't hack it in the military, so now you are against them. Oh yea [sic], 4 years. Until they found out you were a FAGGOT, and you got out . . . Leave me alone or I'll cry all over you, while you are bleeding!!!!!!!!!
Let's SEE YOU TAKE THE SERIES OF SHOTS. Obviously you have not read the GAO [General Accounting Office] reports. It is a frightening thought that someone like you can spout propaganda without a factual basis or perhaps it is sour grapes because you have a vested/financial interest in this vaccine. Put your own butt on the line Mister Fumento. I am a retired Army First Sergeant and I can tell you that I don't trust DOD to take care of our troops. If you can condone relabeling of expired medications (FDA report) and issuing it to the troops as a sound medical practice then obviously you are in the wrong field. You need to go into politics.
SIR–I have read your misguided and incorrect statements about the anthrax vaccine making anyobe [sic] sick. You need to come and visit Dover AFB and count the many (up to 100 now being tracked by the FDA) severely ill from the vaccine. The symptoms are almost identical to GWS, and ALL of us were in tip top shape before taking the vaccine.
PS–Maybe Hillary should know of your ability to distort the truth, she would gladly have you on her staff!!!!!!
ther [sic] lines of a publicly lying PA [public affairs] or Med Group official [sic] (teh [sic] Chief of Public Health at DAFB–Capt. Boylin–went into shock after her 1st vaccine) or even bothered to read the congressional testimonys [sic] of the many military ill. Your abrassiveness [sic] is that of a paper tiger, your courage non existant [sic] to face reality. I pity you and the shame you bring upon military members, too bad you havn't [sic] the courage to step forth with your smart attitude and talk to the ill face to face . . . . countinue [sic] to hide behind your media throne, it serves you well!!! Oh yea [sic], since my civilian job equates the low 6 figures [sic], I am not impressed with your acclaimed "$100 per hour"Is that the going rate for falseness in the major media?
Most of the individuals I know who have or will refuse the shot are not terrified at all. They are just convinced by the evidence that there is not good enough reason to risk their health however small the risk. Being terrified is not required to make an educated decision.
Thank you for your one-sided article on the AVIP [anthrax vaccination] program. As a veteran of Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Operation Somalia, Rwanda, Croatia, Columbia-War on Drugs, and many other dangerous operations around the world, I feel I can speak with authority on your lack of compassion for the people defending your country. If you were a true journalist, you would also report the numerous violations Bioport has had during the manufacturing process of the current batch of anthrax vaccine being used on our troops.
Why don't you tell your readers that the 1970 standards for FDA approval are very different from today's standards for FDA approval of a vaccine. Would you like to volunteer your family to take this vaccine? Put your money where your mouth is. How many people in the State Department have taken the vaccine? They are at a much greater risk than the 2.5 million troops that will be forced to take this experimental drug. Very few if any State Dept. members have taken the vaccine because it is a voluntary program, and they know the vaccine has not been fully tested and is not safe by today's standards.
interview some of the troops that have been plagued with side-affects after taking this vaccine. You ridicule them without even hearing their stories. Some have recently testified before congress with gut-wrenching testimony by true patriots. They don't blame anyone, but their
health has deteriorated after taking the vaccine.
To discount us as internet fear-mongerers and spreading disinformation is naive and preposterous. You have done a disservice to your country by writing such trash for your own profit. I hope you can sleep at night when the truth finally comes out. I will not sacrifice my long-term health to defend people like you that view us as guinea pigs and pawns in a large political game. I hope to see enlightenment in your future articles.
I wonder which of those military operations qualify you to declare me not a journalist, or is it just the sum total? In any case, any safety problems arising from BioPort's batch of vaccines is a subset of the entire safety issue, is it not. Did not my whole piece address the entire safety issue? Yes. Therefore, subset were also addressed. If there were only five hospitalizations attributed to the over one million doses of vaccine receive and all those were allergic reactions, then obviously BioPort didn't make an unsafe vaccine, now did it?
Concerning FDA standards, any time it wants the agency can yank approval for the anthrax vaccination. Indeed, quite recently it did so for the rotavirus vaccination given children. But it hasn't revoked it for the anthrax one. Why does that not seem pertinent to you? Regarding receiving the vaccine myself, I did try to as a quick way of shutting down people like you. But the extreme shortage of supplies made that impossible.
1. BioPort has a totally new facility and has failed a recent safety inspection. I know
Michigan Biological Products Institute received more than one warning to make right the wrongs or the FDA would not renew their license. Now the new plant has failed. If the new plant has failed, don't you feel the need to question to potency and efficacy of the old vaccine?
Does your discovery of embellished stories give you the license to apply psycho-babble junk science to discount the destroyed lives of individuals that volunteered to defend their countrymen? Gee, you tell us that sometimes nervousness can cause diarrhea–Thank [sic] you gracious doctor for explaining why a very good friend of mine, for two years, couldn't eat a meal without being within ten steps of a toilet. Funny how he and his room-mate both developed the same symptoms within weeks of getting their second anthrax shot in the desert.
I challenge you to reply to this letter addressing ALL of the facts, not just those that support your opinion. Here's one for you, the DoD quoted an independent "expert" saying that the vaccine was safe. It turns out that the "expert" is a gynecologist and the only thing he did in association with the program was help the pentagon [sic] design the marketing strategy for it.
As for your friends with this amazing diarrhea that pushes food through their entire colons in seconds, as with glowing vomit and burning semen I would have to categorize this under "Bizarre Illnesses that Nobody Actually Has." I'm sorry if they are ill with something, but if you broke your leg a week after a black cat crossed your path would you blame the cat? Oops, I blew that. You probably would.
you certainly do a dis-service [sic] to the veterans (myself included). I'm ill enough without the addition of how you sicken me. What a shame that there are those such as yourself who lack the intelligence to see the truth (must be some self-serving aspect to your writings . . . maybe govt [sic] paid $$$$?).
You comment that everybody gets sick eventually–blah blah . . . it's true that people do . . . but the problem with most of the government's version of tests and studies are pretty evident. When you take a group of vets aged 18-26 and compare them with a control group comprised of 50-60 year old women [sic] . . . I imagine that you could find that the vets have no different problems then Joe public.
is neither scientific, analytic, or evaluative. You are proof that anyone can get on the Internet and sound like an expert armed with spellchecker [sic]. I served in the Gulf War,and the fact remains that when the Army's Engineer Battalion put explosives to [sic] the Khamisaya [sic] ammunition dump, which had 122 mm Katusa [sic] Rockets [sic] loaded with nerve gas, the war heads [sic] traveled as far as a warhead could travel, much like dropping a box of rifle shells into a fire. Do me a favor, shut up and stay off the Internet. You don't know anything.
You say rockets suspected of containing nerve gas travel as far as rockets can travel, therefore GWS is real. That's very nice. If you'd allowed your mom to help you with your thinking, you might have said, "This means people far from Khamisiyah could have been afflicted by nerve gas and this could have caused their GWS." Problem is, there's no evidence a single soldier was exposed to nerve gas. Not one. Further, I WAS in the military and indeed I WAS an engineer, and know that when rockets are rigged to blow they are rigged to blow up, not cook off like a bullet or even artillery shell.
Sir, I think it is all well and good that you would make the assumption that I was not in the service, because you are one who is not going to listen to anyone who would upset your beliefs. I am a Gulf War Veteran [sic] I was in Northern Iraq, my unit did have a shell land near our compound, which did emit a dark cloud. But, no alarms went off because the war was over with, and all of our equipment was packed. Admittedly, your letter is outdated; please have the courtesy and respect for myself and fellow Gulf War Veterans [sic] to remove your outdated information from the Internet. You are doing no one a service by keeping it on.
Just what the world needs, a fat Puerto Rican filing clerk from the National Guard, traumatized on his two week obligation in Germany during REFORGER because he had to use a slit trench for the first time. Try to cut your masturbating down to three times a day, it seems like it is making you a little bitchy. Try to refrain from sending me anymore email, everytime [sic] your mother sees your name on screen, she bites the end of my dick!. [sic] Bye, Bye [sic] Pussy [sic]!
I guess you have never served in the military and sertanly not in the Gulf or you would not be so blind to the DOD's political hogwash.
Message text written by [omitted]:
One of my teenagers wrote the original message to you, so I decided to take a click over to your web site to see just what this is about, I was not impressed. First off, fuck the bad spelling and grammar checks, if you understand what is being said, the communication was successful! Now address her statement based on MERIT not your spelling viewpoint.
I just read some of your articles on the web. Seems like I might have read you [sic] Bt story in the journal [Wall Street Journal]. Science is a gray area. In the '70s, the Surgeon General said we could stop worrying about infections, antibiotics would treat all! Today, we have many infections we can't treat. DES given to women the late '40s didn't seem to be a problem till their daughters developed cancer.
Regarding gene technology, just because you don't know what's going on, please don't extrapolate that to everybody else. Finally, when you get to the chickens you lose me entirely. But I must admit, I didn't read that study by the hens and their progeny–it just looked like chicken scratchings to me.
