Talking Wrong

'Nam vets are 768 / 100000 / year and general population is 3.8 / 100000 / year. The numbers are directly from 1. Veterans - a response from the Veterans' Health Administration to a Freedom of Information Act request I filed 2. General Population from any number of sources but in this case the National Institute of Health.

The thing about filing is purely me being snarky. Anytime someone says something about AO causing MDS that person says he doesn't think so. At least in my case the Board of Veterans' Appeals agrees that MY MDS WAS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO AGENT ORANGE!!!

I've misspoke because I believed the decision was in 2010 but it was actually in 2009 and this is the link.

When dealing with the BVA though what is a year or two or three in the scheme of things?
