    So are we talking here Army Deafness Scandal Mark II?

    I'm not saying that from a perspective of slagging off people who've had very bad effects from it...Indeed I'm just wondering if people think that is where its going go....I mean if there is evidence they (DoD) were well aware of side effects prior to offering it and advising it..(or imposing it)? And..... if at the same time other armies were advising against its use....sounds like some basis for some sort of claim....was that how it happened....I mean what do other armies use....?
    **** the claims it's no good to the troops that committed suicide from lariam O there is a lad out of the navy that the army tryed to say it was MS that he had,the test came back it was not MS that how bad the side effects can leave you.So what good is a claim to him when his hold life is up side down.

    Fair points Hippoman and I can infer and understand your anger.......but if you read my post i actually wasn't slagging off DF people ...nor did I ignore the side effects issue..... which in the case you describe is incredibly grim.......there must be stuff out there in other armies about the whys and why nots of this drug...that was my wider point. If these cases you allude to are the tip of the iceberg.... ...then this "story" will emerge for the wider Irish public and it will run......have the representative associations taken a position on it...i.e. PDFORA?

    Something you may find interesting is that in the Defence Forces, only enlisted troops are made to take larium. Officers are given Doxy to take instead, which is supposedly a much better drug to take and without the vicious side effects that people suffer with larium.

    Last I heard, PDFORRA are in the middle of putting a case together to bring forward to the DoD.
