Never trust the government. I remember a statement from former President Ronald Regan saying the scariest thing he could imagine was to have the government knocking on his door and telling him, we are here to help. Just look at all the issues with so called vacs., and they have been spraying the skies for years and years. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for His mercy and grace or we would all be dead. Salvation found in no other, only in Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. John 3:15-21❤
I was exposed in 1966-67 and then in 1968- 69 and am still fighting with the VA.
My grandfather’s best friend was in Vietnam and was hit with Agent Orange when they dropped it on them when they were in the forest, his whole company got hit with it. I remember as a kid his face was very pitted all over his face. He was very sick all the time.
I was denied A.O. in 2010, VA said there was nothing wrong with me and even enored that I had an enlarged Aortic Aneurysm, Proberly hopping I would die before it burst exposing their Fraud. I knew I had A.O. in 1984 because my youngest son was born with birth defect in 1970 and had the operation in 1984 . After doctor tested the tissues, it came back positive for same chemicals that are in Agent Orange. May 2023 had heart attack, while at the Hospital, they found out I also had an AORTIC ANEURYSM so large it could burst anytime. Rushed by ambulance to where the Specialist were to have it taken care of . They put a Stent in my heart first, and than i seen the Dr. who was going to do the surgery on the Aortic Aneurysm and he stated it was 9 inches in Diameter which is 23 Cm and it would take over 30 + years at the very least to get that big. He had to put 10 stents in as he had to reroute all the arteries to the major organs . June 26, 2023 that was done. than on Feb 1, 2024, they put in a new Aortic Valve. I was in Vietnam, USMC in 1966-67.
We have “science” to “thank” for so much…
My dad served in WWII, Korea & Vietnam. I guess because he was wounded twice in WWII he didn’t have an issue claiming AO disability. While he had colon, skin & parathyroid cancers…the VA & TriCare actually helped him overcome all three. He overcame his war-induced alcoholism on his own (thank God.) He passed at the age of 89 from old age. His was a hard life but he lived to experience much and he was thankful.
Everybody in the comments talkin about the soldiers… what about the innocent people that had to deal with it
I served in the Americal Division in 1969, I went to the VA in 1973 with heart problems and they told me they didn't use any chemicals in Nam.
There were soldiers from other countries in Vietnam too and they have suffered from the same problems. It wasn't just the USA although it was the USA that created Agent Orange and allowed the damage to continue.
After being awarded 60% in 2020, the VA required me to get another "test" and reduced my award to 30%. They have NEVER released the results of the second test to me or my PCP.
USA is literally, the most evil, country/nation in the human history.
They don’t have money for our Vets care but they do have it for illegal immigrants.
I know two people that were affected by AO. Both went to my church. One was an Army Ranger the other Infantry.
Sad
Well if the game plan was deny,lie,delay until they are 1:54 1:55 all buried guess they really won.
You believe the lying N VNese who sign peace treaty then attacked??? You also offered up no scientific study
My dad said they first used it when he was in the Korean War but it wasn’t wide spread until the Vietnam war which he was also in he died of lung disease had heart disease and kidney disease this chemical destroyed organs so sad.
We walked through it. Was denied and made fun of by a VA doctor for responding to the review. The doctor wanted proof I walked through it. Made fun of me and said, "Oh! I found it! Oh! Nevermind! Its your bald spot on your head!"
I drove home ashamed, humiliated and had tears in my eyes.
exposed to AO in 1971. the PACT Act allowed many affected veterans to file and receive compensation. All the VA required was boots on the ground during war time. Hence, filed at 76 yrs old and C&P EXAMS diagnosed AO exposure. Not too many of us are still alive to file and be compensated.
Sad what our government did in Nam. Brave soldiers doing their duty while the government poisoned them. What a scumbag of a war run by politicians who could care less about the 58,000 soldiers killed.
Atom test look video
The deaths will never stop from agent orange
I had a cousin in the Navy Seabees.. he cleared LZ with bulldozers and died of cancer at the age of 48, never being able to have children.. VA blamed it on smoking 😢
Wow if only I invested in Monsanto and DOW $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
AND COVID 19 TOO…
what gets me is when I arrived in Guam during the height of Vietnam War we weren't briefed on agent orange and hundreds of us breateh the toxinx in dad in and day out for 2 years and now my son and grandson and my wife is paying for it.
SUA .trebuie sa plateasca pentru toate crimele de razboi facute in toata lumea .. sunteti satanisti …
Numai rau ati facut peste tot .. zombalailor
I hear thats what they call trump agent orange
My uncle was in a marine air wing in Vietnam and handled agent orange in 55 gal drums.He had serious heart problems since his late 30s.His son and grand daughter also are in I'll health.Ive also saw the effects of agent orange on Vietnamese children who were exposed to it in documentaries.They will not make this widely known.All the while these big chemical companies make lots of money.
Scrolling these comments I cannot find anyone spending a word for all those vietnamese people suffering in that hell created by US army.. I'm not vietnamese but I cannot understand why there are victims that deserve more attention than others. Nothing new after all, even in these days we can witness the same thing watching tv news or comments about israeli genocide, oh no sorry, self defense against terrorists.
My step – father, a Vietnam Navy vet (he died of urinary bladder cancer on 02/21/2019) educated me on this lethal chemical and what it's done not only to our soldiers and their families, but to those who live in Vietnam. Did our country commit a war crime by using this chemical in order to find the VC? Yes, you bet. Not only that, but it also committed a war crime against its own military and the families of its own military by using this lethal chemical in order to find the VC during the Vietnam War. This stuff, if I have a good memory, has one heck of a shelf life (this is what my step – dad told me). Our government needs to own up to what it's done to our Vietnam vets and admit to the war crimes that were committed against the Vietnam Vets of America and their families as well as the people in Vietnam. I know that my step – dad would be proud of me for being a whistleblower on our government by writing this comment. RIP, Al!!
My late father suffered with numerous cancers over a period of 18 years due to that poison and NEVER recieved any compensation from our beloved government…this is complete betrayal. May you Rest In Peace Dad 🌹🇺🇲
Hmong Vang Pao suffered the most during the secret war in Laos. Many of them have cancer and died in the United States. They never ever get compensation from the law suit because they have no clue how to claim it.
Agent Orange was clear as water
Agent Orange the name comes from the color of the label.
this is the country who accused germany and iraq of war crimes
