The Anthrax that the military got is the same as the one Vets have been taking since the early '70's. Unlike the current H1N1 Vaccine that is being used.
I was in the fleet at the time on an aircraft carrier. The word I got after receiving the shot was that it was a mix of four vaccines, three of the four were not FDA approved (being rushed to the fleet because no other drugs were approved yet), and none of the four vaccines were approved to be mixed together into one shot.I am not saying it was a bad vaccine, or new, just one some soldiers felt uneasy about enough to speak publicly.

Didn't read it. Came straight from the source. Oh, and it's not tin foil hat friends either.
Maybe not everyone got the cocktail. Or maybe they lied to you. Or both.
It's ok to say..I must have the wrong info, or I'm sorry I will look into this a bit more. No one was jumping on you personally, just maybe start giving things you read on the 'net, even at sites that "usually" are not prone to exaggeration, a bit of skepticism.
Stating your personal opinion is one thing, people can disagree with it..but it's yours. Stating propaganda as fact is another thing altogether.
I remember it as a big stink with some refusing it and jeopardizing their careers over it during Gulf War I (IIRC). I am 99.9% sure it was in the basic group of shots in 1990/1991 for those going through basic (not that soldiers in basic were the ones that refused ).

I still think that experimental shot was the cause of the so-called "Gulf War Syndrome."
I can honestly say that during my time in service I cannot count the number of needle sticks I received (Anthrax, Yel Fev, Deng, Fev, Flu,....)
I had never before, or have been as healthy as I was during those years.
Although, it could have had something to do with Top's 12 miler's on Friday mornings followed by alchohol infusions on the weekends.
ok little boy, i'll play. my post was about the way YOU have to call anyone who differs with you a liar. It has to be that your sources are impeccable and the other is wrong, despite the fact that in the past you have been shown the error of your ways several times. When you reach puberty and gain a few years of life experience you will see that having to be right ALL the time more often than not just shows your ignorance and immaturity.Aww, look who came to bash! Sorry, no, I heard this from two active duty service members. Thanks for playing though. You still have won an all expenses paid vacation to your local Flu Shot clinic to take the H1N1 Vaccine shot! Take comfort in knowing you're more likely to get the H1N1 and will have other GREAT side effects!
Oh, and go ahead and take the H1N1. I'll take great pleasure in laughing at you.

My ignorance shouldn't phase you SE. Ignorance just means you don't know something, shouting what you don't know as fact isn't ignorance..it is stupidity. As yet I have never called you a liar, just questioned why you feel so defensive about someone who might have the temerity to doubt your sources. "I heard this from two active duty service members" isn't really a source to cite is it? You have several military members on this page telling you they stood in line and got shots and never new what they had in them...but your two know exactly what was given to them..ok, I'll buy it...but once again you are missing the point, someone disagreed with you and you screamed LIAR...that junior is the point.
