- US scientists say they have discovered what caused thousands of soldiers who served in the 1991 Gulf War to fall sick with mysterious symptoms.
They have pinned the blame on the nerve agent sarin, which was released into the air when caches of Iraqi chemical weapons were bombed.
Many veterans have complained of a range of debilitating symptoms which developed after their service.
But for decades the cause of Gulf War Syndrome has remained elusive.

As a veteran of the war in Vietnam we had the same issue with agent orange. There was a classic law suit that was settled but most of us never seen a nickel of that money.
Good luck on the findings and stay strong...
My grandpa was a bomber pilot and also would spray agent orange. He was exposed to it a lot and had all kinds of problems till dying pretty young at 62 of lung and bone cancers that took his life. Most likly due to the agent orange but don't know for sure.
Suppose this is the difference when have free health care. All he wants just better treatment now been diagnosed. Hopefully NHS can accommodate.
Burn pits are the cause of all the medical troubles from the war on terror. There are around 180 different cancers linked to the burn pits but the government only recognizes a fraction of them. A group of 6 of us frm my home town served and 4 have gotten sick. My best friend’s wife is 34 and has lung cancer. The US govt doesn’t give a ****
Neither has any of the poison generations of Vietnam citizens.
@@murphy7801 The problem with free healthcare is it's not free. You pay high taxes for it. Another problem is you have the government running the show and they allocate a yearly budget. When the budget is low, they start prioritizing care and euthanizing people. I've read horror stories about your Liverpool care pathway. They took an elderly lady there and cut all her food and water to euthanize her. Luckily her children got her out before they killed her. We tried to take little Charlie Gard to the US for treatment, and Trump even offered to donate his private jet to transport him to the US where we were gonna give him free treatment. The British courts and your NHS objected, and they killed the baby by cutting off food and water. He might or might not have made it, but why not at least try a new experimental treatment, instead of putting the child down like an animal.
If you are not prepared to take care of the Soldier when he gets home.
Then maybe you should not be going to war to begin with.
Because you have obviously not taken everything into consideration.
American Republican Party is a perfect example of how not to treat your troops.
Least they're nowhere near as bad as Russia. Literally selling their own troops out as slaves, selling weapons to the enemy etc. One thing is always the same, it's never rich politicians kids fighting in trenches
Bro It was unintentional and yes it doesn't make it more acceptable or less harmful for the Veterans but It wasn't as if they knew that this was going to happen.
@@laknidubandara Agent orange ! For many decades the government/VA said the problems Vietnam veteran's were having was in their heads. They united states government does this for every war so as not to have to pay benefits.. They go so far as to give active soldiers who complain dishonorable discharges. You don't know a thing.
@@cadebritt8001 And that is not the same case, Now is it? Agent Orange was known to be a crop killer it was meant to destroy the Cultivations which The Vietcong relied on-off of on and the Government never said it was harmless they knew it wasn't and using that incident to say that The U.S government doesn't care about its troops is not true.
@@laknidubandara No ! sorry that argument doesn't work. You sound like a politician who lied but in the face of the facts, claims to have been right all along. Your wrong I'm a Vietnam Era veteran and saw it all. Luckily I only suffer from PTSD.
God bless this veteran 🙏🏻🇬🇧
Well clearly god isn't blessing him. If anything he's getting served with divine justice.

I served with the 1st Cav during the Gulf War. I have been sick since coming home and also have a letter from the DOD that my unit was exposed to Sarin and Cyclosarin near Kamasiyah Iraq when EOD blew up a stockpile of chemical weapons. It took me 10 years of fighting the VA to get service connected and get benefits. These illnesses are being downplayed just like Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.
Are there any treatments that they are giving you that would work to help mitigate the effects of the exposure for veterans who might not have been able to win the fight? Like nutrition or anything low cost that you can do at home that doesn't require going through the medical bill induced bankruptcy?
@@nonononono8194 I have done I.V. Chelation to try and remove Uranium from my body to no avail. My tests for Uranium were more than 100 times normal, so I am sure that is also an issue along with the Sarin exposure. I have also done hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) which helped a little. HBO is not cheap though. I have always been active working out and eating a healthy diet. That along with time seems to have helped. It's a crap situation though when the VA has no answers and most of the specialist I have been to on my own dime have zero clue how to help.
It did not take them 30 years to figure out it was sarin.
Read the book: Gassed in the Gulf by Patrick Eddington. Incredible.
Our chemical alarms went off a few times, but we were always told that they were false alarms. I served with an artillery unit in Dessert Storm. On my 3rd VA claim now. I was denied the 1st 2 times.
Same but our NBC NCO did swab test and confirmed presence of sarin. 2/3 ADA.
Same with our alarms. Keep fighting. It took me 10 years to beat the VA.
The same thing happened to my father. He died twelve years after coming home after a massively devastating battle with MS, seizures and dementia.
There is no justice for what this government covered up.
It sounds like they are trying to distance themselves from the failed anthrax injections?
Not all those with GWS actually served overseas on the ground... so how were they exposed to sarin gas? And where are all the civilians from Iraq with these illnesses? Strange conclusions.
Because it was the vaccine that caused this. Just search gws and vaccine.
Thank you that I wasn't the only one that caught that! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
It took the US fifty years for the diagnosis of Agent Orange problems to work its way thru the studies , lawsuits and government blockades. My father and brother both served in Vietnam and had serious issues until about 2002 when the Army changed their guidelines.
They took so long to avoid paying for it. :\ My boss was a Vietnam vet, got diabetes at 30 as a healthy young man, then died of a rare cancer...
They’re doing the same thing now with burn pits. A group of 6 of us served and 4 have cancer and my best friend’s wife is only 34 and has lung cancer.
My father was close with his cousin that served as a marine in Vietnam who died in his 20's of cancer.
The navy would dump agent orange in the jungle and then the marines would have to crawl in it face down in the prone position.
God bless the servicemen for their sacrifices so that we are safe at home.
The gulf war makes you feel safe at home?

Because doctors suck when it comes to any chronic illness of an unknown cause and never listen to their patients.
My father had gulf war syndrome and died in 2012 I'm 23 now and I have emphysema and COPD my little sister is just turned 21 and she's got problems with her heart just got diagnosed with svt and arteirial fibulation are we ill because our dad got gassed in the gulf do we get compensation for for our dad suffering from the ptsd and the GWS ? Or answer to why we are so ill yet so young our lifes are just beginning and it's looking bleak for us both..
Sorry about your dad x from a gulf war 91 veteran .. take care
@@petshopboy827 thank you did you serve in The British army and there isn't many of you guys left now I remember my dad telling me story's about what happend to some of the squaddies they lost there mental health and some lost the plot and took their lifes some even there family too such a shame you guys didn't get the recognition or support for the service you did I salute you all with the highest honours when we lived in Scotland most my dad medals were stolen by junkies but I've still got his liberation of Kuwait medal just wish I had all of his medals but don't know if it's even possible to get them now he's passed on
@@kinetickhaos6144 I served in the guards for 18 years .. alot of my mates I served with in the gulf are dead ie cancer etc and not old late 40 ...50 etc .. I had issues but I'm OK ... you can re apply to the mod for your dad's medals and they should re send you the gulf war medal ..as u are family ..are u OK yourself? What regiment was your dad ?
How old was your dad ?
I hope things work out for you god bless you all and for your fathers service the price you are paying is far beyond anyone entering the military would expect to pay I am sure your father had no idea when he served that his offspring would be part of his price to pay. The media is like dancing with the devil but at this point might be your only help to get government involvement.
I'm not sure about Saron gas but looking all the shit they burned in burn pits and petroleum fires I'm not surprised there is health issues. Soldiers who serve their country should be given all the help possible doesn't matter if it's years later they served their country and shouldn't be forgotten.
The Americans bombed a stash of ammo that contained sarin in a place called Khamisiyah
@@soton5teve
I know all about it.
Uncle was there with the Scorpions.
The only reason they didn't get sick was a Chech bio detection unit was attached to them,detected gas and the order was given to MOP up.
@@soton5teve I believe that the American used some kind of weapon that kill tens and thousands of Iraqi soldiers when retreating back to Iraq on the road they called it the death road even British scrap merchants went there but they couldn’t touch the burnt tanks and lorry’s etc it was documented by the BBC
Clearly you don't get it. This government doesn't care about us. You think the famer cares if 10 sheep out of the 100k die?
The burn pits are linked to other gulf war related illnesses, mostly pulmonary. The oil fires have been ruled out because non-combat fire fighters didn't come down with gulf war syndrome. Pesticide and nerve gas exposure are the main suspected culprits because gulf war syndrome is a largely neurological disease and both are neurotoxins
My father was a victim of Agent Orange from his 3x tours in Vietnam and died of cancer. I am a 3x Iraq veteran (Desert Shield/Storm and 2x Operation Iraqi Freedom tours). I have a list of health issues too long to bore you with. The US Veterans Administration practices with all eras of veterans the following policy: Deny, Deny, Deny - Delay, Delay, Delay...and, hope you go Away, Away, Away. And, we do - we typically die younger than our civilian counterparts. I pray my children choose not to "serve" the corporations like my father and I did. I want my family to end the cycle of stupidity and naivete. And, I haven't even mentioned the amount of pain and suffering we cause to the people/country we decide to invade, colonize and strip of resources. It all makes me sick (no pun intended). To all my fellow veterans out there - YOU AREN’T ALONE!
Divine justice. Hell awaits you.
@@ProvocateurOfEmotions You are right. And, I deserve it. I regret believing in the propaganda. Growing up working on a sheep and goat ranch...I had more in common with the Iraqi Sheep/Goat herders than I do with the posh politicians and corporations that sent us to do their bidding. I will forever be deeply apologetic for being naive and ignorant. I pray for the Iraqi people every day and ask for forgiveness for what we did…but, I don’t deserve it.
In our indigenous cultures in the United States (another people that were colonized and brutalized shamefully), there is a “Red Road” and a “Black Road”.
The narrow Red Road is fraught with twists, curves, rocks, swamps, mountains and valleys. It is the hard and challenging route to take - but, it is the path to goodness and righteousness.
The broad Black Road is flat and easy with very few obstacles. It is the road to greed, anger, envy, jealousy, avarice and total sin.
I was on the Black Road and now fighting like hell to get over to the Red Road. Working, praying, and hoping for peace and collaboration, good and righteousness.
Peace.
…and who sold it to Saddam? Oh yeah, we won’t ask that.

Why didnt the VA hospitals not disclose the cause of their illness years ago?
hospitals don't necessarily diagnose causes like that, it takes a lot of effort.
@@Ass_of_Amalek sure, takes a lot of bare faced lying
So there should be large numbers of Iraqi civilians suffering from the same symptoms to support the findings.
Good point.
Of course. But you won't find that for two reasons. Many were killed and those soldiers were given vaccines which caused this problems such goldenhar syndrom and others. Just Google it and find out
The Iraqis have suffered from something much worse....

You used to say particles from depleted uranium shells and fumes from burning oil fields. 32 years later it’s sarin gas; looking for a VA loophole?

Yes, the same depleted uranium shells used to shoot down Iraqi tanks. And they burned for days with all that toxic fumes released into the air. No problem.

Finished, thanks
Gulf Vet here. It saddens me to see the shape that many of us have fallen upon. Seeing his medicine regimen concerns me. Not knowing of his Dx's, it seems overkill.
Is the MoD blindly tossing darts or are they actually taking studies from across the pond?

Uk 🇬🇧 USA 🇺🇸 israel 🇮🇱 are punisher
So does this sarin count as WMD?
Yes sarin gas is considered a chemical weapon and nerve agent. Thus a WMD
America is responsible for this.
H2s was spewing out of the blown oil and gas wells.
What chemical weapons?. You never found them!!!.
Bit late isn't it?
Coalition? You mean Invasion force?
No the invasion force was the Iraqi army going into Kuwait. The coalition force was sent in to push him back out.
See the difference? Then the coalition force warned Saddam to behave or else. He didn’t behave. So the coalition force went in to Iraq to take him out once and for all. You can read about it in the history books. You will find the truth there.
The original study was actually done in Utah that found the PNO1 gene that was affected by sarin gas exposure ♡♡
It isn't different to munition.
Every time that I would mention this to VA doctors about the chemical alarms and fog, I would be dismissed as there being no proof of any gas attacks.

People that do sandblasting are familiar with silicosis. When you blow up sand with bombs that fine dust would carry a very long distance. If 120 psi of air can create dangerous dust from sand so could all those bombs. That had to hurt them even more not to mention the massive burn pits they had there.
I was an impact surface abrasion technician for years. It has been prohibited to use silica sand for a long time but that doesn’t mean it gets used.
The alternatives are for example copper slag, crushed igneous rock, crushed glass, glass bead, soda, dry ice, super heated steam(doft) and a load more. I think the health issue is now worse, as is the cost of the abrasive.
It was the burning oil
I've never been so sick in my life as I was inhaling the oil fire smoke.
I got 17 vaccines in about 5-10 minutes including anthrax and PB oral medications at Ft Dix in October 1990

I lean toward additional exposures from organophosphates in pesticides used. They are still in use and soldiers serving in the region continue to develop the same set of symptoms. The genetic marker, PON1, is the real point of interest because it creates the vulnerability.

Saddam Hussein was not the aggressor, HIS country was being robbed and he was defending that as talks had already failed between Iraq and Kuwait (which refused to admit they were doing anything wrong).

GW and Don Rummy spent a cool $1T looking for WMD in the early 90’s without success…. Now we’re finding WMD 30 years after and only in coalition war vets?
You seem confused. Iraq used chemical weapons on a large scale during the Iran-Iraq War, particularly in 1988, which also saw an escalation in violence against Iraqi Kurdish rebels and civilians (such as the chemical attack on Halabja). Although Iraq did not permit international observers to witness their destruction, it is known today that Iraq's chemical weapons were destroyed shortly after the end of the Gulf War in 1991, which is why no new WMDs were found after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. However, Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons at the time of the Gulf War, and it is generally accepted that the country's leadership refrained from using them against coalition troops due to fear of an overwhelming U.S. retaliation. However, this study suggests that coalition bombing of known or suspected chemical stockpiles in Iraq likely released dispersed concentrations of sarin into the air, which disproportionately affected individuals genetically predisposed to have a serious reaction even to relatively low concentrations of sarin.
@@JMurrinYT Thank you for commenting…. Makes sense.
I believe this about as much as I believe Tony Blair.
Well if you listen this news carefully they defended Blair again and mentioned WMD in this news that it was used during war despite no evidence that anything actually ever existed!!!!
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
each one of u are bounded to pay the price for making people of gulf suffer
Meanwhile Palestinian journalist shot by Israeli Forces she was killed
I heard she was shot by colonel Sarin.
Ooh in second
Give it to the Russians
money made in sarin gas, selling medicines, and news for bbc
I'll never forgive the Labour governments for all the wars they've caused

This was a Tory war. Margaret Thatcher was in power.
Soldiers of invading forces.
This is bs
Absolutely ridiculous
What about those affected by trauma, those non combatants who are living with having lost their entire family, community network
They joined the army knowing your fighting for thugs who are labeled as government
I blame Russia!
In the game Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation it claims that GWS was the fallout from an experiment between the Pentagon and DARPA to create 'genome soldiers' and that's why they dismissed the condition for years without investigating it properly. Maybe it's just computer game fiction...
GWS?

Nope, I don’t believe that any of the complex video games were made up out from young person head! All these war games and the “T Cells” game (not sure what it’s called but the one with the umbrella corps) all these games were darpa! Just like fbook was a see eye ay project called l i f e. L o g
The only fiction I can find on tv is the news! Hollywood movies and the games industry are hitting with the truth, we’re just too duumm to see it!
As a veteran of the war in Vietnam we had the same issue with agent orange. There was a classic law suit that was settled but most of us never seen a nickel of that money.
Good luck on the findings and stay strong...
