Do you really get diseases and permanaent health issues if you join the army in iraq?

Answer
Lol no not at all. lots of people come back without any of that, its not like the gulf war. but there is always that risk you know, it a foreign land and the metals used for bullets like tungsten and du are not nice if inhaled. i know dozens of people who came back just fine, i wouldnt worry about it, also i am in the army and ill let you know when i get there.
