Misdiagnosed Green Beret Demoted, Nearly Court-Martialed Before Rare Illness Revealed

That's too bad; there is NO cure for this. Looks like what they say about medicine in the military is right. They're good for handling trauma cases and that's about it.

I often wonder if CF is caused by eating infected (by prions, proteins) meet which causes mad cow disease.

I know that you can no longer donate blood if you've been to countries which had mad-cow disease outbreaks.

Just heard on O'Reilly that he ate Goat Brains while stationed in Oman back in 2001 so his illness is a result of being in the Army.

Back pay denied. Parents want him to be reinstated and cared for by the military. He's an American Soldier and should have full pay and benefits and burial. He should be in a Military Medical Hospital where they pay 100% of the bill.

Col. David Hunt said it's the worst case of abuse of a soldier in his 30 yrs. of military experience. Write the chief of staff of the army and express your outrage. The army made a mistake every step of the way. He earned a Bronze star in Afghanistan.

Contact the head of the army, ASAP, (No contact info. was given on the show)

Lt. Commander Hoss and FOX news is pushing this issue very fast.

He should get his back pay, restored to his rank, full medical care and full pay. O'Reilly will keep America posted.
