The US military has a long tradition of using its soldiers as medical guinea pigs.
In recent years, with the involvement of pharmaceutical executives like Donald Rumsfeld with the Department of Defense, the trend has accelerated. Now hundreds of thousands of US servicemen and women receive vaccines that are untested and experimental in nature.
On October 16, 2006, the Department of Defense announced that it will resume its previously court-halted anthrax vaccination program and that troops who do not agree to receive the six-injection series voluntarily will be faced with disciplinary action.
Untested vaccinations are believed to be one of the sources of Gulf War Illness, a crippling condition which disabled tens of thousands of soldiers after the first Gulf War.
