“Trooper”, is a beautiful, heart-wrenching film that
offers far more than empathy. It dares viewers to explore a disturbing corner
of the Iraq War, a realm that no film has yet to touch: the blight of depleted
uranium (DU) poisoning, which has infected thousands of Iraq veterans but is
yet to be acknowledged by the Pentagon and is virtually unknown to the American
public."
Depleted Uranium has been
killing our troops since Gulf War I.
The film follows Murphy O'Shea
(Martini), a specialist who returns home from Operation Iraqi Freedom to a New
York City suffused with sunshine and tranquility. Murphy's friends welcome him
home, but the specialist feels strangely locked out of their joy and clouded by
an odd illness. The doctor at the local V.A. doles out some pills and tells him
it's 'just some post-traumatic stress'. But the grueling headaches, chronic
diarrhea, and some bizarre burns on his shoulder hint that something more is
going on.
The Veteran's Administration has
deliberately dragged their feet on taking care of our heroic veterans who
breathed in this contaminated air as they patriotically served their country in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
Our soldiers were and are being put in harm's way by our
own weapons system. The soil in Iraq was completely contaminated with depleted
uranium. That's why GIs are getting sick. The radioactive particles, they last
forever. Iraqis and the remaining Americans are still breathing the stuff.
This fact is one of the saddest realities of this entire
tragic story; our leaders are knowingly placing weapons in our soldier's hands
that will kill them. They suffer years of debilitating disease brought on by
uranium poisoning. How is this possible?
Upon impact, a D.U. shell dissolves into fine deadly dust
which spreads through the air and falls both on the ground and on vehicles.
Persistent, fierce windstorms then pick this dust up, blowing it up to 1,000
miles from its original source. All it takes for a person to start dying is to
breathe in one tiny contaminated dust speck! Our soldiers are far, far more at
risk than the heavily protected nuclear waste workers.
The very fact that the Pentagon could get by with such a
monstrous lie on an issue which should be instinctively understood by the vast
majority of Americans is testimony of the effectiveness of the propaganda with
which Americans have been fed, and to the controlled complicity of the “Lame
Stream” Media.
John Hanchette, editor of USA Today from 1991 to 2001, in
a recent interview with anti-DU activist Leuren Moret, said he had written
several news stories about the effects of DU on gulf war veterans. Every time
he was ready to publish a story about the devastating illnesses afflicting
soldiers, however, the Pentagon called USA Today and pressured him not to
publish the story."
The Pentagon is denying that the
various illnesses being suffered by our troops is caused by depleted uranium
poisoning. How can they get away with this monstrous lie?
A doctor trained in modern desert warfare warned us in
May-June, 2003, that the uranium would act as a 'wild card', causing people to
die of various ailments. While none could be "officially" tied to DU,
the fact of the matter was that DU was most definitely the common denominator
of all of them.
The Pentagon realizes that, if
anyone could prove that they knowingly sent brave soldiers into battle, knowing
that the very weapons they were given to fight the enemy would kill them
eventually, they would be open to lawsuits that would cripple even the
Government. This issue is one of the saddest imaginable for the patriotic
Americans who answered the call from the White House to fight an enemy called
"terrorism"!
