  5. Unequal distribution of resources.

  6. Seems like there's a large uptick of heart issues the past 2 years.

  7. Think this has anything to do with the NON-Cardio related JABAROONIE? I went through boot with 500 other folks. Know what? NO HEART ATTACKS! When I was a DI, I pushed THOUSANDS of Marines through boot. Guess what? NO HEART ATTACKS!

  8. the one thing they don't even mention.

  9. Bonespurs. Says. Republicans. Are. S. T. U. P. I. D.

  10. We learned something in the movie A Few Good Men. Shaming weakness then won't test corpses of cardiac disease? Health care is a weak point in our military.

  11. Gee I wonder why the uptick?

  12. Are we sure that the totally safe and effective vaccine has nothing to do with these sudden cardiac incidents??

  13. Lets Be Honest We All Remember This Record:-
