GWS is any symtpom that the VA cant link to a definitive cause. its more of a generalization than an actual diagnosis, since the problems can be linked to any number of chemicals or hazerdous materials that soldiers are exposed to on a daily basis. there was something similiar to this during vietnam, before the govt aknowledged that agent orange was to blame.


Single & Looking
A lot.

I think you are referring to Gulf War Syndrome. Unexplained illnesses that troops had after they came home from the first Gulf War.

I once heard a woman tell a story about her husband. When he would ejaculate on her skin, it would burn her.

I never learned if troops from other nations were suffering this. Many have attributed the illness to medicine that the troops took to countereffect nerve or chemical agents.

The military and Washington all said that during the War, Saddam Hussein didn't have the chance to use Chemical Weapons - the plan was, if they were indeed discovered that he was using them at that time, that the US would respond with Tactical Nuclear Weapons.

During the conflict, sirens / machines used to detect the presence of chemical or nerve agents sounded off. I guess all the denial is to hide the fact of how close the US came to using nuclear weapons against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

Others have attributed it to a small parasite in the sand. I have not heard of any illnesses other than PTSD, from the second Gulf War.

About 1 in 4 Americans who served in the conflict are afflicted with Gulf War syndrome.

Maybe Jesus hates the Americans military for totally disregarding his words about peace, humility, tolerance and not killing innocent civilians. You don't want to upset the son of God. His dad will kick your skinny ***.


U.S.Veteran
According to CBS News there are now about 175,000 American Veterans who suffer from Gulf War Syndrome.
