Excerpt:

On page 7 of the official VA report, the number of U.S. soldiers 
partaking in the illegal invasion of the Gulf is listed as 6,838,541 
soldiers. Just below that the VA estimated number of living soldiers is 
listed at 4,525,865.

*In other words 2,312,676 US Gulf War Veterans are dead!
*

Just below these numbers the report indicates that 1,603,743 Gulf War 
soldiers filed for disability and *
1,206,795 soldiers have been classified as disabled! *

2,312,676 dead + 1,206,795 disabled = *3,519,471 soldiers out of it *out 
of 6,838,541 total

*  More than half U.S. soldiers who partook in the illegal Gulf War are 
dead or disabled!
*

PS: It may be wise to look through the VA report in case some anomaly 
was missed in the above assessment. FYI, I skimmed through some of the 
VA report, and found this under "Gulf War Mortality Data 1990-1997 on 
page 16 hich has 4506 counted as dead. But there is a twist, as revealed 
by this quote:  This report, supplied by VHA, shows death rates from 
1990 to 1997 of US Gulf War veterans deployed to the Gulf War region 
before March 1, 1991 compared to non-Gulf War veterans over the same 
period.
