Seems that the Army is so desparate, that they're recalling disabled vet from 10%-60%.
So now that they've started the antrax program again, more servicemembers have something like thisto look forward to.
Soon after the first five of the required six injections were administered, he began experiencing excruciating physical ailments.
"There are times when I am just urinating," says Commander Cordova with a matter-of-fact attitude, "and all of the sudden a thick fluid will come out, my testicles will be swollen, enlarged and very tender. Then the anthrax injection site in my waist becomes inflamed."
According to Cordova, infectious disease doctors speculate that the vaccination may have entered his lymphatic system--primarily affecting nodes in his groin.
So he goes to Afganistan where he will be forced to have another shot despite doctors warning that it could be life threatening.
Next the commander dispatched letters from six different doctors, including a VA doctor, an Army doctor and a physician from Penn State University. All confirm the ailments Cordova continues to experience and insist he must not receive another anthrax shot. One goes so far as to say it could be life-threatening.
"They just see me as a warm body," he says. "I have a heartbeat and that's good enough for them."
Yup, that's it exactly. Parents, I highly advice printing out that article and laying it down next to those nifty pamplets handed to your kids by recruiters. Really, just goes to show how we take care of our veterans.
