DOUG ROKKE:
SICK, WOUNDED, GO HOME AND DIE: MAJOR DOUG ROKKE explains U.S. military policy toward its own troops. Over 66,257 soldiers who served in the first war on Iraq (1991) are dead. “You hear on the news of the people killed in action, direct engagement, not the people that get sick, wounded, ill and come back to die.” A 40-year army veteran, Rokke says that war is not about Mom, Apple Pie and Chevrolet but about resource and territorial control: “the military in all their grandeur over all of these years has thoroughly and willfully and deliberately continued to contaminate the earth’s environment.” Rokke, PhD, spoke at the Madison Aug. 5, 2007 conference on science and the politics of 9/11.” Major Rokke headed the US Army’s ‘depleted uranium’ clean-up project after Gulf War I. Here he addresses the problem of DU in the U.S., Iraq and globally.

WE BLEW UP THE WORLD TRADE CENTER..NO PLANE HIT THE PENTAGON. HELLO! - MAJOR DOUG ROKKE, U.S. ARMY
After over 30 years in the military, happily doing whatever the military told him, Doug Rokke worked his way through college, BS in physics (Western Illinois), and MS and PhD in physics at the U. of Illinois Champaign/Urbana. All this time, he was still a “warrior”. And then, after “Desert Storm” (mass murder part I), Major Doug Rokke was handed the “DU clean-up project” by the U.S. Army. The Army brass (read corporate flunkies) knew what a hideous thing “depleted uranium” was, but Doug Rokke didn’t. When he found out, he was determined to expose the crimes, In this talk, Doug Rokke relies on his life-long contacts and experience in the Pentagon (3rd floor office, a 100 feet from the impact site) for the low down on the absurdity of a 757 folding its wings back and disappearing through a series of holes.

DOUG ROKKE IN 2003 IN ROCHESTER, NY at a VFW post
Maj. Doug Rokke, PhD, was tasked to do the 1991 Gulf War clean-up of 'depleted uranium' - DU -- for the U.S. Army. Here he speaks to veterans and anti-war activists. Rokke exposes the US military's total indifference to the fate of not only the Iraqi people, b ut also to the men and women in the US military and the rest of the world. Rokke was told to lie by his superiors about the harmful effects of DU while he himself and his military comrades were sick and dying of DU poisoning. (part 1 of 4)   10min
