That there might be a causal link between ALS and military service is something that I had no idea of. I had no inkling that it was accepted as a service-related condition. Yes, ALS is a godawful disease that results in a slow, prolonged, and often agonizing death. If I should ever develop it myself, I would just take a hot shot of fentanyl and go to sleep ... permanently. Once ALS takes root, it is irreversible.
