Veterans of the insane Iraq and Afghan wars are coming down with all sorts of cancers.
Veterans saw a spike in urinary, prostate, liver and blood cancers during nearly two decades of war, and some military families now question whether their exposure to toxic environments is to blame, according to a McClatchy investigation.
McClatchy found that the rate of cancer treatments for veterans at Department of Veterans Affairs health care centers increased 61 percent for urinary cancers — which include bladder, kidney and ureter cancers — from fiscal year 2000 to 2018.
The rate of blood cancer treatments — lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia — rose 18 percent in the same period. Liver and pancreatic cancer treatment rates increased 96 percent and prostate cancer treatment rates increased 23 percent.
Pretty terrible, but I’m sure all the fake conservatives out there think that what has happened to these people has been a small price to pay. After all, America only exists to defend Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East. There is no other purpose to America except to defend Zionist Jews from brown people.
