soldiers used as guinea pigs

soldiers used as guinea pigs I am having a bad week end, my mood sux and I know it. I am upset about the VA press release for the WW2 vets exposed to mustard and lewisite. There was no mention of the Cold war test vets, fogotten again. I spent the weekend when I was awake writing letters to the politicians that have been helpful, like strickland from ohio and Bilirakis from Fla, this is just wrong, I will trade my 7 heart attacks for a mustard burn anytime. I firmly believe the government is just wrong in the handling of the cold war test vets. The program itself may have been well intentioned, but it was carried out in a way that that has left a history of distrust, lies and distortions. The treatment of the men abused by these programs speaks volumes to the governments compassion to the veterans that serve it. Some of the men I am in corrspoondence with are concerned about the fact they did not receive awards or medals for hazardous duty, that is the least of the problem, what about medical care and compensation for our families? The programs were supposedly secret what kind of awards did they expect to receive? I know the depression is not good for me, but I don't know how to break it, the meds don't seem to do it. Dori has taken to having Michelle and the kids here very week end, I feel like I can't even leave my room. I have a hard time with the kids yelling. It has migrated to Dori goes to sleep about 6 or 7 am and the kids wake up about 9 or 10 so I get to entertain until 1-3 whenever she wakes up. I work real hard not to lose my temper with the little kids they don't know better, but I still can't comprehend why a 5 year old dumps all the white paper holes out of the paper punch and then look at me stupid when I ask him, who does he think is going to pick them up? It took him almost an hour to get them I was not about to suggest a vacuum cleaner lol let him suffer he did it.
