We should have finished the job 12 years ago and those officials that are denying that Gulf War syndrome exists should be lined up and shot.

I doubt they are denying it exists. By definition, syndromes are a constellation of signs/symptoms that appear together but lack a clear common etiology (cause) or pathophysiology (process). Gulf War Syndrome has a poor basis in medical science b/c it's basically a catchall term for every ailment that Gulf GIs acquired. I'm not defending the BS from the Pentagon which has a default position of denial. The lack of disclosure and possibly even obstruction by the Pentagon may have contributed to the lack of clarity on GWS. But the truth remains that we don't know what to make of GWS.
