An extensive epidemiological study has found Gulf War veterans are 2x more
likely to develop ALS than control groups. The VA has officially announced
its intention to provide special benefits to Gulf War veterans in light of
this finding.
This is a dramatic development in the history of Gulf War Syndrome because
it is the first officially-recognized link between the Gulf War and any
specific disease.
