The reason Jet fuel has a pesticide rating is because it is a highly refined chemical.

ALL synthesized chemicals be it JP4, J5, or chlorox bleach are assigned a pesticide chemical. It is simply a measurement of toxicity.

And by the way...everything is toxic, even water can kill you if you drink too much. Had it happen right here last year. Some knuckleheaded fraternity party got out of hand. The combo of too much alcohol and slamming down too much water. The kid's brain could not function because the salinity and potasium levels were diluted way too thinly

The jet fuels have been in use for 30 years. If there was an issue with them than it would have shown up by now in the civilian sector. Little hint: military planes fly into civilian airports and many are even hangared at civilian airports every day.
The way the EPA has been all over the military in recent years with base clean ups...this would definately have been discovered and become a big issue.

I do not propose that I am an expert on the causes of these tragic and dibilitating illnesses. I am certainly in support of all of our vets and will not just arbitrarily rule out a cause without true investigation. Neither will I jump on the chemical industry and accuse them of knowingly covering up at the expense of our people. Not all companies are big bad companies, just as not all chemicals are bad.

There just needs to be some balance to your statements. If nothing else you really need to do some research before you make your accusations. Research is not difficult to do, there are libraries, the internet, newspapers (although I don't trust them very much if at all). You just need to make an effort and not expect that people will do it for you and place the info in you lap.

I also question where you get your information? Are you educated in the field of chemistry? Do you have years of research and a full understanding of the details involved at the nuclear level and how each atom interacts with the human molecular structure?

Oh, and when I say nuclear I don't mean things that go boom. I mean the atomic levels down to the nucleus of each atom.
