A Florida man with male breast cancer says he has now identified 39 other men with the rare disease who all share one thing: They lived at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.

  1. Pentagon giving our Marines more problems. Our medical scientists better get out of stock broker offices and off of golf courses and do what their student loan paid them to do.
