What they actually had was probably a parasitic infection.

That sounds about right. Years ago I talked to a doctor who was familiar with the history and he told me that Pacific vets died by the thousands in late 50's & early 60's.

I can see that.

The approximate 405,000 battle deaths was probably exceeded by service connected deaths over the years.

Thank you again, Homer, for your outstanding work.

Homer, did you serve in the military? Just curious if your research in this project was guided by that experience. Thanks.
