Did Halliburton feed US soldiers tainted Mad Cow meat????

Soldier first to get new 'mad cow' treatment

snip

A Green Beret from Fort Campbell has become the first person in the nation to receive a new drug treatment for the human variant of mad cow disease.

Staff Sgt. James Alford, 25, a soldier who was awarded a Bronze Star and deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, is resting at his parents' home in Karnack, Texas, after the first round of treatments.

His mother, Gail Alford, said it's too early to note any changes, but the family watches him closely.

''His eyes are open. He recognizes us and laughs at us. He still likes to watch movies and listen to country music. We'll take it day by day,'' she said.

Staff Sgt. Alford's story came into public view last fall when the family disclosed how the Army had treated him. Not knowing that the soldier suffered from CJD, the 5th Special Forces Group returned him home from Iraq with the intention of booting him from the Green Berets.

Over 18 months, Alford had been transformed from someone who had been a model soldier in Afghanistan to the unit's resident foul-up. His superiors berated and demoted him for losing equipment, going AWOL and repeatedly failing to carry out commands.

The soldier, who enjoyed a meteoric rise to staff sergeant early in his career, fell from favor just as quickly. He was demoted in rank and reassigned to trivial duties, with instructions that he carry a pen and pad with him at all times to write down orders.

When his mother and father, John, and the staff sergeant's wife, Amber (also a soldier serving in Iraq), saw him for the first time after he was returned to Fort Campbell, they found him disoriented and very ill. He was taken to several hospitals for tests.

soldiers sheep brains?

That's where he got the sheep brains. People eat more organ meat in other parts of the world. Army food is bad, but they don't serve sheep brains.
