Hi,
I'm a retired SSG (Army) I developed oral Cancer and lost part of my tounge and teeth. I was in Air Defense Artillary and worked on the Nike-Hercules Surface to Air Missile system. There is a case in Federal court in Texas where some German NATO Soldiers are suing Raytheon and Western Electric (and other companies) for exposing us to ionized radiation. I was wondering if you have heard anything about this?

I sent you an e-mail to your ACS CSN account. I believe there was a similar class action suit filed by US pilots against Raytheon. It was regarding an inordinately high incidence of testicular cancer that was linked to cockpit radar systems. Anyone out there familiar with either of these cases?
