Some experts familiar with limited data regarding veterans' deaths say they have seen nothing that supports the charge that Vietnam vets are dying at unusually high rates.
Still, many Vietnam veterans believe it is true."The Vietnam guys are going faster than the World War II guys," said Joe Ingino, president of the Nassau County chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America. He said he has come to believe this from stories he has been told across the region.
"I get calls from veterans who say they are dropping like flies, but that doesn't seem to be the case," Paxton said. "I think they are at somewhat higher risk, but there is not the massive die-off that is being claimed."

so far this appears to be anecdotal evidence vs anecdotal evidence.
certainly my own extensive anecdotal evidence confirms a major "kill off" but......
Are we suprised that there is continued denial of the mass genocide of OUR OWN VETS????
Someone with some experience in this needs to step up & counter claims that we are paranoid extremists with some hard numbers. Any volunteers???? many of us are devoting our skills & talents to this important issue. We owe it to our spouses, siblings, parents, children, grandchildren & others who cannot speak for themselves. Surely someone here has those skills.
