I may, or may not, add more, or just let comments take charge.
Veterans Used To Test Suicide-Linked Drugs
An ABC News and Washington Times Investigation Reveals Vets Are Being Recruited for Government Tests on Drugs with Violent Side Effects
Mentally distressed veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are being recruited for government tests on pharmaceutical drugs linked to suicide and other violent side effects, an investigation by ABC News and “The Washington Times” has found.
The report will air on “Good Morning America” and will also appear in “The Washington Times” on Tuesday. (click here to read “The Washington Times” coverage of “Disposable Heroes”)
This Crap Has Been Going On For As Long As We’ve Had A Military, just search out the past history!!
In one of the human experiments, involving the anti-smoking drug Chantix, Veterans Administration doctors waited more than three months before warning veterans about the possible serious side effects, including suicide and neuropsychiatric behavior.
“Lab rat, guinea pig, disposable hero,” said former US Army sniper James Elliott in describing how he felt he was betrayed by the Veterans Administration.

This Country owes Veterans, All Veterans, Big Time, but Especially those serving now, in Mutiple Tours in these Theaters of Occupations, and being Stop Lossed because Most who Cheer on these Wars of Choice Refuse To Serve!!
Simple thoughtless phrases are just fine with them, place Soldiers out of Site out of Mind!!

Used, abused, taken advantage of, revered “as long as they can continue to fight the wars for profit” and then thrown away like trash when they cannot (see Hospitals: Veterans).
The 1%’ers love them as they do their dirty work. When they can no longer serve, Fuck ’em!
So sad, yet so typical of the Neo-Cons.
Want to see someone who is fighting back?
Check this diary I put up just prior to this one:
Taking A Stand: Matthis Chiroux
C’mon now…
All soldiers in all nations are people who get used.
All citizens in America are now people who get used.
Both are being used by Corporate America whose representatives are the Government who has been elected by The Corporation who now only dimly compete with each other. Basically the Corporations of America and the Organized power groups of “contibutors” are on the same page…that’s why there is little difference between the candidates.
No one notices that Barak Obama wants to Wind down the war in Iraq and move the troops to Afghanistan and continue the wars. He is “Pro Israel…Period”…those are his words on his website.
If citizens became enlightened they would see that all governments throughout time use solldiers.
War between nations is a con. American soldiers are being conned. They are told they are “brave”, “courageous”,”patriotic”, “selfless”, “protecting their nation”.
It’s not true. They are, unfortunately, simply people who are being used and in exchange for being used they get superficial praise that appeals to whatever image they are attempting to develop for themselves.
It’s all a lie.
They are being used in Iraq and when they get back they are even used again…here as shown in the video in a most tasteless, perfunctory way…and it illustrates the abject concern that the government, corporations and the organized interests groups with power have for soldiers….and citizens.
