You just need to hold permanent residence (aka Green Card).

And that stat sucks!
These people should be looked up to, and taken care of,
for the rest of their life!
AND have the BEST health/medical/psychological care, ever.
That is a very sad story.
Anytime I see someone in uniform,
I always say Thanks!
and offer them a beer, or just shake their hand!
Everyone needs to do that.
And dont ever watch that movie Jarhead,
What a miserable existence.
All out to war while all their girls are at home being unfaithful, etc.
This story sucks!
Sorry, I'm rambling.
They deserve much better!
Thats it.

I agree with you mate, but unfortunately, wars are there not for that purpose but to make power people more powerful and rich people more rich.

And in this case, the U.S. Defence is also denying the tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers that are slowly dying because of contamination (or call it exposure) to D.U. (depleted uranium):

some have called this Gulf Syndrome.....just watch these documentaries:

They are making a mess that the second World War is nothing compared to the effect that we`ll have to face around the world with this depleted uranium (which name depleted is DECEIVING as wikipedia explains.)
