OTOH, approximately 100 incidents occurring in some 160,000 troops hardly
makes
an epidemic. That these occurrences are unusual is undeniable; however,
their
causation is more likely environmentally based than weapon inflicted, as
some
people are suggesting. The widely separated and random nature of where
and when
the illnesses struck does not support the weapon theory.

That and the fact that pneumonia is a symptom and not a disease.
