A FEW GOOD MEN, TOO MANY CHEMICALS
A FEW GOOD MEN, TOO MANY CHEMICALS is a thrilling and informative nonfiction account of contamination at two Marine Corps installations, Marine Corps Air Station El Toro on the West Coast (CA) and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune on the East Coast (NC). The eBook is scheduled for release Fall 2011 by MilSpeak Books, the eBook publishing division of MilSpeak Foundation (501c3).A FEW GOOD MEN tells the story of the thousands of Veterans and their families, once stationed at these hazardous military installations, who have continued to be ignored by the U.S. government by denial of the effects of exposure to environmental hazards, including the highest incidence of occurrence of male breast cancer in any other demographic in the U.S. Legislation to provide health care and compensation for Camp Lejeune Veterans and their dependents was introduced during the 111th Congress. None of these bills reached the floor for a vote before the end of the Congressional session.

Most of those who were at El Toro, later were sent to Vietnam, but there are some who did not go to Vietnam, but who are sick with the diseases attributed to Agent Orange. One Marine was given compensation for AO (after death)as he was assigned to burn AO at El Toro (which clearly indicates that AO was on base) - the government requires that a soldier prove "boot on the ground" to receive compensation (although boot on the ground (one day only) couldn't account for enough exposure. The government rules are not rational. I'm seeking compensation for a range of health issues that are not genetic, and most likely are AO related. Are there others like me who suspect exposure at El Toro?
