In what's being called an unprecedented move, the Pentagon has ordered health screenings for all Americans who fought in the war with Iraq.
Within 30 days of their homecoming, they'll have to fill out a questionnaire, review it with a health provider and give a blood sample.
Returning troops will be asked whether they suffer from chronic symptoms like a cough or rash.
They'll also be asked to list possible exposures to pesticides, oil fires, or biological and chemical weapons.
The military is hoping to avoid a repeat of the aftermath of the 19-91 Gulf War, when thousands of veterans reported unexplained illnesses.
