Must Be Somethin' in the Water

Literally.

It has been reported that Marines in North Carolina drank water contaminated by dry cleaning fluid for 30 years (as many as 75,000 people).

"...the effects of consumers' exposure to drinking water contaminated with PCE are not known. Some health studies have found adverse effects in occupational settings. However, exposure to PCE alone typically does not mean a person will experience adverse health effects," the CDC said.

Riiiight.

Especially if that necessitates medical treatment.

Once again, supporting our troops comes up as a pathetically empty gesture.

Ring a bell?

Okay class... Now say it with us:

"9/11 first responders".
