Contradiction on PTSD incidence between paragraph 2 & 4

Paragraph 2 says: From 1995 to 2005, the health of combat veterans worsened in comparison with nondeployed veterans, with the onset of more new chronic diseases, . . . posttraumatic stress disorder (emphasis added)

Paragraph 4 says: Studies have consistently indicated that . . . Gulf War veterans have lower rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than veterans of other wars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:285:8200:D250:7176:89E6:7AC3:59EA (talk) 02:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Do Iraqi soldiers suffer from Gulf War Syndrome?

As above. I'm quite surprised that nobody appears to have addressed this issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.111.169 (talk) 21:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Possible typo

It seems there is a typo in the name used by the Veteran's affairs office. The phrase "medically unexplained illnesses" appears twice in a row.

Current: "Gulf War veterans' medically unexplained illnesses, medically unexplained illnesses, chronic multi-symptom illness (CMI)"

Suggested: "Gulf War veterans' medically unexplained illnesses, chronic multi-symptom illness (CMI)"

Is Gulf War Syndrome related to Burn Pits?

I was led here after watching a medical video regarding the phenomenon of increased incidence of cancer in US servicemembers exposed to the practice of incinerating garbage, chemicals, UXO, etc. in Burn Pits using benzene-containing JP-8, and I'm looking at the 1991 photo on the Burn Pit page and going "hmmm".

New study apparently confirming that sarin exposure was responsible + genetic factor in the form of GWS sufferers having a less effective version of the PON1 gene

Sarin gas blamed for Gulf War syndrome (BBC News, 11 May 2022) Now, the Beeb is a (mostly) reliable source, but should we or shouldn't we wait for a few more sources to provide coverage before adding this? - Dvaderv2 (talk) 08:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
