It seems there is a case for a proper, independent inquiry soon, to assess whether these guys are commonly effected by their time in the airforce, or whether this is just bad luck. If the illnesses are shown to be the result of the radiation spill, then the US government should take vicarious responsibility for the situation, as the servicemen's former employer.

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Shameful Black-Eye the US Air Force's reputation.

We are not known for our good treatment of military personnel once we are done with them. God forbid it costs money to do that and we need those shiny, new F-35s.

Call me cynical, but will they eventually take responsibility, wring their hands etc... after everyone affected has died and their estates long been administered? Not sure of the US, but the UK sometimes beats itself up after the event in those sort of circumstances. After all in those circumstances 'words' are very economical.
