You could be right, who knows,
and I don't have the medical
expertise to say either way. I'm
not arguing either. However, I
can show you where the holes are
in your theory.
First, Patriot missiles aren't
just loaded up and sent to war.
Or any other ordinance for that
matter. There are a lot of
missiles and rockets in
inventory and they are shot a
lot in training in the U.S. and
all over the world. Take the TOW
missile: I've fired four in one
day, and was in the vicinity of
hundreds. The AT-4, Javelin, and
Dragon (before it was replaced):
we line soldiers up by the
hundred during heavy train-up
and fire away. On a cold morning
the fumes stay low and we just
sit in it where it accumulates
in firing positions. I'm sure
air defense does so with
Stingers. No one has symptoms
for why?
Patriots were fired in populated
areas. Look at Israel. No civ
symptoms for why?
Also, when Patriots were fired
during the Gulf War, it was
because Scuds or other similar
projectiles were incoming. When
enemy missiles get picked up by
radar, EVERYONE within range
goes immediately to the highest
NBC protective posture. Which
back then was MOPP-4. That's
overgarment, hood, gloves,
boots, mask and everything. They
stay in that posture a long
time. Only commanders can lower
the posture; they only do so
after chemical alarms have been
given time to go off, chemical
officers plot the possible dirty
areas and fallout coverage, M256
kits come back with negative air
content results several times,
FOX teams go out and test
soil/surfaces, units report no
damage, etc etc. Units in
questionable proximity to a
possible contamination are moved
to deliberate decon sites; it
all takes a long long time. I
would say that out in the open
desert, propellants are long
since dissipated by the time NBC
protective posture is lowered.
We are talking many hours for
people in the region close
enough to a Patriot battery that
is close enough to fire. That
theory is a long shot.
If you are certain you have
found the cause of a problem,
then someone who can verify or
eliminate the theory should get
to hear it. I'll give you the
contact info. I recommend that
you query with a professional
letter before sending
unsolicited document packets.
Make it short and straight
forward; no more than a couple
pages and no fancy fonts or clip
art. Compile a clear
documentaion of your theory
(answering who, what, when,
where, and why) and have it on
hand before you query. Be
patient. Remember you are
dealing with the government.
They are slow and not
drastically better educated than
the people who built your PC and
not any more competent than the
FedEx guy who ships it to you.
People as smart and talented as
they portray them in movies
start in government but get
recruited into billion dollar
corporations very fast. Use that
time to edit and refine your
theory.

Once again, be patient. If
anyone acts in the government,
first they will contract an
outside observation panel to
study who would be the best
observation panel to contract
for interviewing applications
from contractors bidding to pick
the actual observation panel
that will draft ten
recommendations for funding of a
study group who will research
the merits of giving the project
its actual funding and then if
approved the parent institute
will use their own people. (Any
operation that requires two men
and a car also ends up having an
office of fifty people and
twenty rental cars to justify
the red tape.) But don't be
discouraged. That is not your
problem. All you have to do is
be patient.
