Why did she have to stay home for two months? Presumably they were checking weekly AFB’s. How many of these tests were false positives??? And why is she entitled to 75,000 dollars??? Thats like a years salary for a nurse.

Let meguess. The “mental anguish”. Its too bad all the people who suffer in Iraq and every war from “mental anguish” can’t benefit from the f&*^ed up US Legal system
