[The almighty MEEE]

Well that weird disease that the soldiers got in the Gulf War with H.W. Bush was pretty weird....What about this time? Will the soldiers get the same disease? Or a more deadly one?(I do get paranoid about these things.)

It is always possible they will get it... gulf war syndrome was a combination of post traumatic stress syndrome and environmental factors... it is possible these soldiers can have the same symptoms, It all depends on what they were exposed to during the fighting.

That disorder was a product of the weapons used during the gulf war and shellshock. So that would depend on the arsenal used by the Americans and the rebel fighters.I haven't heard too much about the use of chemical weapons, so I think the likelyhood of it happening is less now than in the 90s. But always possible regardless.

Don't know. Maybe. But probably not. If they haven't gotten a deadly epademic yet, then they probably won't. But you never know.

Gult War Syndrome was caused by their exposure to the chemical's released into the air by the burning oil fields. So that specific disease, NO.But all soldiers have some for of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after a tour of duty. Sadly we do not yet really offer them the intervention counseling to the degree all shoulder's should have it when they return home from war duty.

They will get something they all did in all the wars.

N O, the situation has been cleared up by VA research!!
