O/T: Male breast cancer patients blame water

"Among the chemicals later identified in the drinking water were trichloroethylene, a degreaser; benzene; and the dry cleaning solvent perchloroethylene"

What I dont understand is.."WHY" breast cancer? Why not prostate,colon, brain or anything else?

Just thought it was an interesting story as you dont really hear about male breast cancer.

I was just watching this on CNN while I was watching the Olympia. Its pretty sad. But like you said why would it only be breast cancer??? Doesn't really surprise me if they end up finding a link between the base and the water there. I know the water we drank at Ft. Bragg was f*cking horribly disgusting tasting, so maybe some day we'll see a story on this.

Yeah bro, what really gets me is this..

"The Marine Corps sends them to the Department of Veterans Affairs, which says it can't treat the men for a condition that hasn't been shown to have been "service-related."
