The bio warfare agent that presents as CFS was developed long before the Gulf war. It was even carelessly tested in open prison populations here in the USA. The brucellis mycoplasma hybrids are nasty and known by few.

These disabling weapons are considered better than fatal agents because they tie up resources to care for the survivors.

No you did not need a returning gulf war veteran to infect you since it was already domestically compromised years before.

You would think that veterans would have been diagnosed but cover ups and denials and foot dragging is the legacy of the VA as a corrupt interpretation of national security.
