I lost a Marine friend last year - one of my best friends sons - someone I grew up with and have known all of his life. He didn't die in combat. He didn't die while defending his country or someone elses. He died right here at home after being sent back to his family by the Marines, sick. Why was he sick? Because the Marines had used him, and several of his unit, as guinea pigs. Yes, it was voluntary, yes, they made him sign a release - for a new experimental drug that was supposed to help prevent cancer one day. The cancer took his arm first, it had to be amputated. Then it took his leg and last year it took his life.
Keep quiet? They know what they are doing? Don't say anything, and don't make waves?
I feel for Tyler, and I know he has to go back in there and doesn't want any waves to deal with while he is still in. But I can assure you
- I'd have the biggest mouth on the planet if this were my son!
You have no idea what they do to these boys and what they put them through - all because THEY signed up and "volunteered" for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
