Well it's been a long time
a comin, but yes, the Veterans
Disability Commission has
finally unveilled it's officialy
planned Outline for the
Final Report to Congress
due out in September of this
year.

And somewhere between Section V
and Section VI, there is a
significant category called
Environmental Hazards, and
the Fort McClellan Veterans
do absolutely HAVE
an entire Chapter devoted exclusively
to them alone, along with other
separate companion Chapters
devoted to the Blue Water Navy
Veterans of Vietnam, and the
Camp Lejuene on-base water
contamination zonre which is also
recorded by the Center For
Disease Control the same way
that the McClellan issue is.

General Terry Scott himself
told me in person at the end
of my Public Comment floor
speech [ which is now a part
of the April transcript for that
session ] that the Commission
was still waiting on the arrival
of other official papers from
Fort McClellan, even though it
was not as fast as I was personally
wanting it to be, and he assured
me that the McClellan matter
was still very much in cue for
final national processing for
our designated Health Registery
and Presumptive Service Connected
statusing.

And to that I say.......
THANK YOU GENERAL SCOTT,
o-o-o-o-o-h-h-r-r-r-a-a-a-a-h-h !!

REPLY to Griffith

You are having trouble keeping
a story straight here, and I
don't have time to be a substitute
brain for you. The discussion here
is exclusively on Fort McClellan
Alabama and nothing to do with
the Navy or anything else.

Consider the fact that when
McClellan was closed as a federal
facility in 1998, it was immediately
transitioned to a STATE facility
and is still open and fully
staffed as a military base to
this very day.

So what's your point ??

I know this McClellan matter
like the back of my hand and
your "theory" is empty and
misguided. While McClellan
people for sure are sick, it
is in no way rooted in AO.

I and several thousands of USAF personnel who served in Thailand view this as you say "trace amounts that wouldn't make a dog sick". At the time it wasn't such a trace amount, and yes we are sick, and thank you for referring to your fellow vets as "dogs".

Thanks for your response but it is
a bit off the beaten path.

This Fort McClellan matter is a
legal issue and has to be narrowly
pleaded out. We have done that
and do not have the luxury of
arguing all ills on the planet
earth. This is a focused legislative
effort based on rock solid
information that we can prove.

The "hot spots" you are talking
about are trace amounts and not
even enough to effect a sick dog.

The Fort McClellan Contamination Zone is only a small part of the total picture. Monsanto and Dow chemical and the US Army have been involved in biochemical warfare since the end of WWII. They are (The US military industrial complex) has literally destroyed the environment throughout the entire world, including the US.

For proof, compare EPA's Super Fund Clean UP list to the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) List, then you will see why they are closing most, if not all of the bases. They are so polluted that they are unfit for human habitation.

Unfortunately, most of the American public have ADD (Atention Deficite Disorder) and these politicians know this. The news outlets are in the pockets of the military industrial complex. When a story like this of such hugh nation significance, the newsmedia overshadows the story with Pari Hilton or some other celebity and bam off we go and we literally forget about a Fort McClellan.

Our government has done the American Public a great diservice because most, if not all, of the environmental problems throughout the world are cause by the military/industrial complex right here in the Good Old USA.

The name of the game is profit. Pure and simple. These men could care less about the American Public, it is all about the money and human life be damned. Like Walter Reed, this too is just the tip of the iceberg, but when are we going to see the total iceberg. Not in my lifetime.

In the year 2007, there are still signifcant Agent Orange and PCB "hotspots" throughout the world, which lead right back to Monsanto, Dow, the US Army at Fort Detrick, but they are only going to tell us one story at a time. They have murdered America for the money.
