5. Serving in the military can cause Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The reason for this is when a person is deployed, they are in a new environment. They have to handle different things that take a toll on their bodies. For instance, in 1991, the military personnel who served in the Gulf War had a higher chance of getting Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The military travel to different countries and have to deal with different factors, such as breathing in chemicals and diseases that are widespread. When they come back to the US they have a higher chance of getting Lou Gehrig’s disease.
They won’t be able to serve their country another term because Lou Gehrig’s disease has settled in their bodies. They will have to get out of the military on an honorable discharge. On the other hand, some military personnel isn’t affected. They can be in heavily diseased environments and not get sick. Their bodies are immune to it.
