The actual figures have been hidden from the American public just like the returning, flag draped coffins were censored from the press. But the figures are now available and we can only hope that the American people will be outraged when they learn how they have been misled.
According to The Department of Veterans Affairs reports in the Gulf War Veterans Information System reveal these startling numbers:
Total U.S. Military Gulf War Deaths: 73,846
* Deaths amongst Deployed: 17,847
* Deaths amongst Non-Deployed: 55,999
The stastics for non-lethal injuries are likewise staggering:
Total "Undiagnosed Illness" (UDX) claims: 14,874
Total number of disability claims filed: 1,620,906
* Disability Claims amongst Deployed: 407,911
* Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed: 1,212,995
Percentage of combat troops that filed Disability Claims 36%
How does this Work?
Troops dead on the battle field are counted as "Deaths amongst Deployed"
Troops "injured" are on "immediate leave" and NOT DEPLOYED!
If they die on the way to or after they reach a hospital OR if they are declaired "disabled" they are counted as "Deaths amongst Non-Deployed and Disability Claims amongst Non-Deployed."
YOUR TAX DOLLARS SUPPORT THIS CORRUPT SYSTEM!
