Widow Fears Pentagon 'Lying' About Pneumonia

WASHINGTON -- Joining a growing chorus of families, the widow of a soldier in Iraq who died of a mysterious pneumonia-like illness said Thursday she fears the military may be lying about her husband's death.

~snip~
"I think they might be lying about this stuff," Tosto, 22, said in a telephone interview from Baumholder, Germany. "I really feel like it. Nobody can tell me anything. If it is the shots, then of course they are lying."

"We just want to know what happened and we have a right to know. But the Army is acting like they are trying to hide something, and that just makes it harder."

~snip~
In an August 2002 case study of a 39-year old "previously healthy man on active duty" in the Cardiopulmonary and Critical Care Journal CHEST, three military doctors described the case of a 39-year-old who was diagnosed with pneumonia that "may be due to the anthrax vaccine." And a review by a government advisory committee in 2002 found one case of pneumonia "considered probably related to vaccination."

2. In this bizarre regime, it's normal and healthy to fear that the
Pentagon is lying. They probably are lying about the pneumonia. We know they've lied about a lot of other things reagrding this invasion.

3. The Pentagon lies all the time about how soldiers die
especially with stuff like this.

I've heard it first hand from veteran career army officers that soldiers that are killed in either classified missions or in situations where there might be an extreme liability (toxic waste dumps, nuclear burial sites) that this is what happens.

They just shrug it off as a cost of doing business.
