"these soldiers had entered an expansive but largely secret chapter of America’s long and bitter involvement in Iraq"
Nothing 'secret' about this, after all we supplied Saddam with these as well as manufacturing information so he could produce, it's plain common sense and if journalism was really the profession it still is thought is it would have been reported right along with the war drum beating!!!
We have, still, plenty of 'dirty sights' of chemical contamination across this country, including where chemical weapons were produced, where the corporations who produced dumped as they walked away with huge profits!
Not to mention still no safe place for nuclear waste so we use some in our weapons production which is causing growing birth defects in Iraq where used heavily especially!!
Why even area's where Agent Orange was sprayed and stored to control weed growth, especially in and around military bases, has finally been discovered in this country and where we have outside of bases and public area's!!
Just one issue still ignored by those served, think Gulf War Syndrome, like this will be as well, since Vietnam, along with so many other issues ignored or denied by the Poser Patriots served so they have no need to Sacrifice themselves!! Gen Shinseki's VA administration with help from this Executive administrations Cabinet, when Congressional, Conservative, decades of obstructed budgets would allow, started addressing many of the issues of our Wars!
Keep in mind, around the globe, landmines buried are still not only being discovered but are killing and maiming in many cases before safe discovery comes to an area where used in this planets many conflicts of man against man and everything else!!
