[edit] Dosage in Operation Wigwam

The author of the article states that "Only three personnel received doses of over 0.5 rems". However, at least one Wigwam test witness's widow (my mother) is getting VA compensation for the cancers my father died of 21 years ago.

We filed a claim in 1997 that was denied. In about 2001 VA suggested my mother resubmit her claim. She did and the claim was approved.

I believe the final sentence of the article should be removed. Whether true or not, it is besides the point if vets are able to win claims based on radiaton exposure.
