Further to the mental health problems suffered by personnel who have served in the Gulf during Telic ops.

It would be interesting to note any research carried out by the experts regarding other debilitating illnesses caused after service in the Gulf theatre.

Will we have the potential of a GW2 syndrome (and believe me, I personally feel that GW1 syndrome exists ) ?

Can any of the illnesses possibly attributed to service during GW1 correlate to personnel who served during GW2?

Is it possible that the psychological effects of Gulf War 1 service are directly or indirectly linked to the physical manifestations that so many have suffered since their return?

Are we waiting for the GW2 timebomb with recent veterans' service?

I sincerely hope not, but time will ultimately tell.

I DO NOT WISH TO BE CONTROVERSIAL ABOUT GW1 SYNDROME


But I personally fear for the worst.
